Indeed. Parcheesi makes me parched and hungry for something cheesy.
Also, “Another difference between the two is the fact that while Ludo is played with one dice [sic], Parcheesi is played with two, thus resulting in higher numbers being rolled,” according to differencebetween.info. So there’s an extra die. I guess they aren’t the same game.
Because it was a lie born of ignorance they are played on the same board! But I did have a feeling last night that Parcheesi was like an advanced version.
We (the solar car team) do. It's a lot nicer to work with, and for hobby/single run type work, it's the right choice, if you've got decent ventilation. For big commercial runs, no, use unleaded, you can afford to do pick and place, or similar, but for hobbyist work, lead based is probably better.
