The game of chaupar goes back to at least the 16th century and Abu'l-Fazl noted that Akbar even used the game as a means of testing the talents of a man (The A'in-i Akbari, tr. Blochmann, volume I, Calcutta, 1927, p.316). The game is played on a cross-shaped board, usually made from wood or cloth, with four players each having four pieces. The aim is to move all four pieces around the board in an anti-clockwise direction decided by the throwing of three dice. A set of 16 gem-set and enamelled gold gaming pieces comparable to our dice are in the Khalili Collection (JLY 1129; Pedro Moura Carvalho, Gems and Jewels of Mughal India, London, 2010, no.28, p.83).
