Product Description

What could be more of a classic than the board game 'Ludo', whose Latin root name, Ludus, literally means 'Game'? Developed in Britain in 1896, it remains popular worldwide, particularly on the palm spotted banks of the Caribbean and the frozen Swedish tundra, both places where the climate demands serious attention to leisure and game play. A simplified version of the traditional Pachisi, this is an extremely fun strategy game where decision making is key to clinching a win. A great game for two to four players - the game advances as the players move their four pegs from the start to finish according to dice rolls, racing to get all pieces exactly in the home column of their color. Several fun variations exist worldwide that add regional flavor to this Game of all Games. This quality set comes with a brightly colored, solid wooden game board, painted wooden playing pieces and a wooden dice.

This review is from: Ludo (Toy)

Even though the size of this game was not fully considered by us when we bought it, it was the same old game we knew and we were looking for to buy.
We are enjoying it a lot and would recommend it to everyone who knows or not how to play it.
Just check again if the size would be big enough for you because it is really small board game.
