Sign in to saveAlso known as Parques, parta, perito o parka
Parqués () is the Colombian version of a board game in the cross and circle family (the category that includes Pachisi). The game is described as a "random thinking" game: the moves depend on the roll of the dice but players must consider possible strategies before executing their move. The objective of the game is to advance all the pieces to the end. Once in the safety zone, players can use two dice until they are one space away from home, where they will then use just one die.
