This is an updated version of the ancient game of the same name.
Kariuchi is a race game using four 2-sided dice (4D2). "Kari" refers to the two-sided dice and "uchi" refers to casting them. The basic game is a 2-player game, in which both players try to move their 4 pieces along the path according to the dice rolls and try to reach the goal with their pieces as quickly as possible.
The board consists of 30 fixed points arranged in a circle. Each player's four pieces are not on the board initially, but are placed in their waiting area as reserve pieces. Starting from base point 1, the goal is passed after fixed point 30. The goal is not yet reached just by reaching Fixed Point 30.
To move a piece, the player moves one of his or her own pieces along a fixed point from 1 to 30 on the circumference of the circle, as many times as the number of "kari" dice cast from a set of four dice. The player is free to decide which piece to move in each turn. When a piece stops at a fixed point 5, 10, or 15, the player can change the direction of movement in the next turn and move the piece to a fixed point on the opposite side of the circumference as a shortcut. If the piece stops at the center point "A" during the shortcut move, the player can further change the direction of the move and choose to move in the direction of fixed points 20, 25, and 30.
If a piece you have moved stops at the position of a piece you already have on the board, you can stack the pieces. All of your pieces (up to 4 pieces) can be stacked on top of each other. The stacked pieces can be moved as a single piece. You can also separate the pieces and move only the top piece(s). If a piece you have moved rests on an enemy piece already on the board, the enemy piece is removed and returned to the enemy's reserve position. If a piece lands on an enemy stacked piece, all enemy pieces are moved back to the reserve position. The pieces are then separated and become individual pieces.
