Overview

Parcheesi with a Shakespeare theme. Each space has the name of a Shakespeare play. Movement is by dice. The board contains "pick card" spaces, which do standard "move forward 4", "move back 3", etc. In the tournament game if you can name a previously unnamed character from the play your pawn is on you can move bonus spaces. Players win by getting their three pawns around the board and up a ladder to the middle of the board (the Globe Theater).
