Goal

Each player gets a color and four tokens in this color. The goal of the game is to be the first to race your tokens around the board and into the finishing square.

Board

The board used to play Ludo has the shape of a cross. Each arm has three columns of six squares. The middle column in the color of a player is the player’s home column. On top of the home column is the finishing square. The starred square in the left column is a player’s starting square. The squares with a shield are special squares where tokens cannot be captured.

Gameplay

Each player’s tokens start in their player yard, the colored area in the corner of the board.

Players take turns rolling a single die, in clockwise direction. When rolling a six, a player can move a token from the player yard to the starting square. If the player already has a token on the board, he can also choose to move a token six squares ahead. When rolling one to five, the only option is to move a token by the amount rolled.

If a player moves a token onto a square with a token of another player, this token is captured and is moved back to the player’s yard. On the squares indicated with a shield, tokens are protected from being captured.

When rolling a six or capturing another player’s token, players get another roll immediately after.

If a token makes it around the board, it can be moved it into the home column and onto the finishing square.

Game end

The first player to get all their tokens to their finishing square wins the game.

Ludo is based on the Indian game Pachisi, which was created in the sixth century CE. In 1896 a slightly modified version using a cubic die was patented in England under the name Ludo. Later on, it was converted into the game Uckers by the Royal Navy.

Many other adaptations exist, such as Parcheesi (North America), Mensch ärgere dich nicht (Germany), Mens Erger Je Niet (Netherlands), Jeu des petits chevaux (France), etc.
