What is Ludo?
Ludo is a classic strategy board game derived from the ancient Indian game of Pachisi. Played by 2–4 players, each player controls 4 tokens and races them from their home base to the center of the board. The game is simple to learn but deeply strategic — timing captures, using safe squares, and choosing which token to move makes all the difference.
Ludo Variations Popular in India
- Classic Ludo: Standard rules, 4 players, first to bring all 4 tokens home wins.
- Quick Ludo: Each player starts with tokens already on the board — no need to roll a 6 to start. Faster-paced.
