There's an ancient Indian game called Pachisi, played in more modern times under the name Ludo. The game is also marketed as Parcheesi in the United States, and variations of it are Sorry! and Trouble, which are probably the most familiar to an American audience.
Most interestingly, there's a version of the game in Germany called Mensch ärgere dich nicht, which literally translates as "Man, don't get irritated".
