2. PARCHIS
• Parchís was a very popular game in Spain
at one point, and it is still popular. Since it
uses dice, Parchís is not usually regarded
as an abstract strategy game like chess. It
does not depend entirely on luck either,
since the four pawns under a player's
command demand some sort of strategy.
• Parchís is license-free in Spain, so in stores
it is just as easy to find as a deck of cards,
and is usually cheaper. Although the
original game allows up to four players
(that is, the board counts four colors:
yellow, blue, red and green), six-player
versions are not hard to find (adding
orange and purple, in that order), and
eight-player boards can be found in big
toy stores.

bouchon (literally "cork") or le

Una dola tela catola,
Quile, quilete,
estaba la reina
En su gabinete;
vino Gil,
Y apagó el candil
candil, candilón,
Cuenta las viente
que las veinte son;
uno, dos, tres… (up to twenty).
