Does anyone know how to play that horse board game you see around? I bought one but have no instructions. Not sure of the name. I think it's called "horsey chess"...

I think it's the same as Ludo; check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludo_(board_game)

Basically it's like that Ludo game, except for a few rules:
- There's no "double" or "triplet" here. You just cannot land on your occupied space. In that case, you make no move at all, pass the dice.
- If your opponent's piece is in the way, you cannot just pass it. The only case is that you land on the exact space of that piece and kick your opponent's piece back to the pending square. Otherwise, you cannot move, and just pass the dice.
That's 2 significant differences between Ludo and the local horse chess. But since they use the same board, same pattern, you can play anyway you like.
