Strike an arc and race your welding helmets home in Parjamie, a classic cross-and-circle dice game set in a welding shop. Parjamie plays by the rules of Pachisi, the classic cross-and-circle race game from India. Roll the dice, bring your helmets out of their bay, run them once around the diamond-plate board, and weld every one of them home before your opponent does. Land on the other player's helmet to send it back. Shelter on the purple safe squares. Weld two helmets together into a blockade nobody can pass. Win, and you earn a stamped Certified Welder plate. PLAY YOUR WAY • Two devices: host a game and have a friend join from their own iPhone, iPad or Mac nearby. No accounts and no internet needed. • One device: pass the phone back and forth, with both names on the board. • Vs computer: take on Sparky, who is still learning, or Torch, a seasoned pro. LEARN AS YOU GO • Step-by-step hints on every turn, with outlines showing exactly where each helmet will land • A How to play guide with a key to every square on the board • Tap a helmet that can't move and Parjamie tells you why HOUSE RULES Play the classic rules or make them your own: bring helmets out on a 5, a 6, or a 1 or 6, bounce back from home, shuffle the safe spots, quick start, must capture, and more. Whoever hosts picks the rules for both players. THE WELDING SHOP • Sparks fly on every capture, with an arc crackle and a buzz you can feel • Overheat on three doubles in a row • A scoreboard that remembers every game, kept in step across both devices and saved to your iCloud for your next phone No ads. No tracking. No data collected.
