Here is the Game of Ludo, a FREE traditional game for you and your family to download and play this Christmas.
This game appeared in England in 1896 and was a simplified version of the traditional Indian game of Pachisi. Each player spins the wheel in turn, and the first to get six starts. Afterwards the player travels as many spaces as the wheel shows. If you land on the same square as another player, that player has to return their counter back to their base. The player who gets all four of their counters home first, wins.
This game was to become one of the most popular "race" games appearing in many "Christmas Compendiums", boxed collections of games that were bought for the family to play during the holiday season.
