Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : board game

The correct answer is board game.

  • Chopad (also known as Chaupar or Chausar) was an ancient Indian board game
  • The board is made of wool or cloth, with wooden pawns and seven cowry shells to be used to determine each player's move, although others distinguish chaupur from pachisi by the use of three four-sided long dice.
  • A chopat 'board' is traditionally an embroidered cloth in the shape of a cross.
  • Each arm of the cross is divided into three columns and each column is divided into eight squares.
  • The “men” or pieces (Sogthi)are usually made of wood.
  • Each player has four men, although variants exist using 8 men each.
    • It is similar in some ways to Pachisi, Parcheesi and Ludo. 
  • Chopat is claimed to be a variation of the game of dice played in the epic poem Mahabharata between Yudhishthira and Duryodhan.
  • The most ancient game of India, Chausar was invented by Shiva and was first played between Shiva and Parvati.
