Ludo was published by Jaques from around 1894. There are many game variants of Ludo played in countries around the world. At the beginning of the game, each player’s four tokens are out of play and staged in the player’s yard which is one of the large corner areas of the board in the player’s colour. When able to, the players enter their tokens one per turn on their respective starting squares and proceed to race them clockwise around the board along the game track. When reaching the square below their home column, a player continues by moving tokens up the column to the finishing square. The rolls of a single die control the swiftness of the tokens, and entry to the finishing square requires a precise roll from the player. The first to bring all their tokens to the finish wins the game.
