Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics Ludo

This is simpler version of an Indian game from the 6th century, Ludo! This game is played with 4 players rolling a single die trying to get all four of their pieces home. First, turn order is decided by who rolls the highest number. Then a player must roll a 6 to get one of their pieces on the track (also, rolling a 6 at any time will get you an additional turn). If you roll anything else, you forfeit your turn. Once a piece is on the track, it continues on a circular path around the board until it reaches the space before the start of the path, at which point it goes up into the home row. Two of your own pieces cannot occupy the same space, but if one of your pieces lands on a space occupied by an enemy's piece, you can send that piece back to start, and that player must roll another 6 to get that piece back out onto the track. The first player to get all four of their pieces into the home row wins.
