Chess is a strategic board game played with pieces including knights, kings, bishops, and pawns on a checkered board of 64 alternating light and dark squares.

Ludo is a classic race board game where each player has 4 pieces that must navigate around the board and reach the home center first. The key mechanic mentioned - landing on an opponent's piece to send them back to start - is a defining feature of Ludo. Distractors like Homeward Bound (not a game), Jenga (a stacking game), and Checkmate (a chess term) don't match this description.

A standard Checkers board is an 8x8 grid, which contains 64 squares total. The game is played on the dark squares only (32 of them), but the board itself has all 64 squares. Distractor options like 82, 32, and 16 are incorrect - 32 refers only to playable squares, not the total board.

The bishop is one of the six chess pieces, recognized by its diagonal movement capability across the board. Mario is a video game character, Game of Life is a board game about life choices, and Checkers uses simple pieces called 'checkers' or 'men' - none of these use a bishop piece.

Monopoly is the iconic board game featuring metal tokens like a shoe, car, top hat, and horse (racing). The game elements mentioned - going to jail, free parking, and passing Go to collect money - are all signature Monopoly mechanics. Sorry is a different race game, and Game of Life uses cars as pieces but lacks these specific features.

Pinochle is a classic trick-taking card game played with a special 48-card deck (two copies of 9, 10, J, Q, K, A in each suit). This unique deck composition - only cards above eight, doubled - is exactly what the question describes. Uno uses its own special deck, and Chess isn't a card game at all.
