Ludo is a popular board game that originated in India and is based on the ancient game of Pachisi. It is also known as Parcheesi in some countries. The game is designed for 2-4 players and involves moving pieces around a board with the goal of being the first to get all of your pieces to the final destination, called "Home."
Key features of Ludo games include: • A color-coded board with each player assigned a unique color. • 16 pieces in total, 4 for each player. • A dice roll mechanic to determine movement. • Safe spaces where pieces cannot be captured. • The ability to capture opponents' pieces by landing on their square. • A final stretch where pieces must reach the Home square.
