Ashtāpada (Sanskrit: अष्टापद) or Ashtapadi is an Indian board game. Although it is played on a checkered board similar to chess, Ashtāpada predates it and differs in its mechanics and victory conditions. The game was mentioned on the list of games that Gautama Buddha would not play. Chaturanga, which could be played on the same board, appeared sometime around the 6th century in India; it could be played by two to four participants. Variants played on different boards include Daśapada (Sanskrit: दशपद).
