All I am saying is that it is a knock-off the Spanish version of Parchis, Just like the Spanish introduced the Castillian language,Latin culture, and many Spanish foods, rice, spices, Chorizo, morsilla etc to South America I think it is pretty safe to say that somewhere in that bag of trix the Spanish brought with them, in there somewhere must have been the board game Parchis, which then eventually evolved to its present version of Parques in Latin America. If you are claiming that some Latin American invented the game from scratch that is a fallacy. |

And yes the original game originated from India, and the Brits then introduced it to Europe and eventually down the line Spain knocked there own version of the game, and so on and so forth |

"It is played with 2 dices and 2 to 6 players can play" 6 must be wrong, it should read 4. Or? Vegard Krog Petersen http://home.no.net/vkp3/index.html
No, in Colombia we can play 2, 4, 6 players. Davichito (talk) 17:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Origin dispute
That user claims the game comes from Spain. But all Colombian players know it is from Colombia. The game stems from Pachisi, not Parchís from Spain. Here is what I replied to him:
Parqués is not a Spanish game. It is based on Pachisi, not Parchís (Spanish game). Then I would have to say that Parchís is a Spanish version of the Colombian game, which is not true either. They are different games; Parqués uses 2 dice and Parchís only one, among some rules. See, Parqués is only played in Colombia and some Latin American countries, but it is a variation from Pachisi with some local changes based on indigenous people. Or, where did you learn that Parqués is from Spain? It is not. I suggest that we delete the origin until some of us can prove where it comes from, be it Spain or Colombia. Before that, everything is just an unproved claim.
I mean, you would have to say Parqués is a USA game, because it is similar to Parcheesi. Or a French game because it is similar to Petits Chevaux. A German game, being similar to Mensch-argëre-dich-nicht... Which is not true, obviosly. The fact that Parqués is similar to Spanish Ludo/Parchís does not mean it originates from there neither viceversa, it just means all those games stem from Pachisi. That is the only thing that can be assured.

The one who possess real proof on this topic, maybe a source, can add it to the article to solve it. I just hope that other people will not do what he did; just to change the article without a source for his claim. Davichito (talk) 18:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
