a simple board game for two to four players, in which players advance counters according to dice rolls

Ludo is a classic board game for two to four players, played on a square board with a cross-shaped path. Each player starts with four pieces placed in their colored area. The goal is to move all four pieces around the board, following the path, from the start to the finish. Players take turns rolling a die to determine how many spaces to move their pieces. If a piece lands on an opponent's piece, the opponent’s piece is sent back to their starting area. The first player to move all their pieces into the center of the board wins the game.
