Wahoo (board game)

Wahoo is a cross and circle board game similar to Parchisi that involves moving a set number of marbles around the board, trying to get them into the safety zone.

Even today, custom-made boards proliferate on eBay and game manufacturer Parker Brothers has sold their own version of the game, under the title Aggravation, for decades.

Despite its origins many people would create their own wahoo boards as not many were mass produced.

Now you can find old homemade boards on eBay and other sellers sites dating back to the 1930s and 1940s.

If a player rolls a number that does not allow a marble to be moved, that turn is completed and goes to the next player in the sequence Winning: The game is won when the first person has all his marbles safely Home.

You must roll the exact number of spaces to move your marbles into Home.

The first pair to get all their marbles "home" wins (regular rules apply).

In Nova Scotia, a variant of Wahoo exists played with cards instead of dice and using exclusively a six-sided board.
