Travel Aggravation

In this travel version of a Pachisi descendant, up to four players attempt to move their four pawns one lap around the board, and into their home. Landing a pawn exactly on one of four points on the track allows the player to hop that pawn along those four points, for a large shortcut. Also, should the player roll a one, the pawn can move into the center for an even greater shortcut, since that pawn may exit to the final shortcut point before its home. A pawn occupying a space to which an opponent's pawn is moving becomes "aggravated" and sent back to base. Unlike Pachisi, there is no opportunity to form blockades for safety of the pawns and obstruction of the path.
