Ludo is a simplified version of the Ancient Indian game of Pachisi, in which you race around a track on the game board, attempting to block your opponents while moving your counters to the goal. The game may be played by two to four players, each using four game pieces. Each piece enters from one of the four corners of the board, and proceeds around the board based on the roll of a die. A player may only enter the board when they roll a one or six. Any roll of a six yields a bonus roll. Pieces are captured when another player lands on a space occupied by another piece, and the previous occupant is sent back to the starting point. The object is to be the first to move all your pieces from the starting corner to your home base.

The board also contains Snakes & Ladder game on the other side of the board.
