Parachiker is an abstract strategy board game from Tzulhon. It is usually played on an 8x8 board. Because pieces are typically not moved or removed from the board, parachiker may also be played as a paper-and-pencil game.
The name Parachiker comes from Harish paro "five" + chiker "connection, to connect", therefore Parachiker literally means "connection of five" in Harish.
Research shows that assuming best play from both players, Parachiker results in a draw.
