So I was at Goodwill and bought some games today. Risk, Parcheesi and then I found a 1976 All New Third Edition The Price is Right! It was only $1! And there are pieces not even punched out so I assume most of it is there.
I doubt I'll ever play it but it's cool to look at.
Oh I LOVE Parcheesi! Seems there are different rules than I remember when I played as a kid... assuming I was playing the proper rules and not house-kid rules.
I do too! I used to play with my Grandma all the time. I haven't played it in years and have wanted once since I got into board games.

OK, here we go:
I Discard BL-1 to Move to Main Batteries, then I Play R-1 to repair it and finally, inspired by my own repairfulness, I Play XO-2 on Felix.
BSG
Gaeta, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG (Gaeta)
I discard SD-2 to move to Pegasus CIC and play Scout for Fuel-6.
BSG
Now we have some action! There is a die roll to raise Fuel. It may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
Everyone passes on interrupts.
Die roll: 7. Pass! The mission is a success; Fuel increases by 1.
You'd think everyone would be happy with that, but nooo, the Admiral wants to know why, as long as you're looking for some Fuel, the raptor couldn't have swung by Caprica and picked him up. He didn't appreciate the Chief's explanation that "raptors don't work that way". You stand accused, Chief! The Chief's crisis card is:
A Verdict of Guilty
Admiral's Choice
Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Hell-oh my god this is terrible)
I have no reason to suspect Chief at this point but we are hanging by a thread here. Morale is high but if we lose Chief who's going to do all these repairs? I need input, it's too early in the morning to make this decision on my own. I'm off to work and will decide when I get back.
BSG (President)
Without Chief, repairs will be more difficult. With Option 2, we still have Chief to repair the damage. And now is the time with nothing in the air.
