Ludo Classic Board Game Stationery

Ludo Classical Game board for two to four players, in which the players race their four tokens from start to finish according to die rolls. The areas of the Ludo board are typically colored bright yellow, green, red, and blue. Each player is assigned a color and has four tokens of matching color. The game board is normally square with a cross-shaped game track. Each player's tokens are out of play and staged in one of the large corner areas of the board in the player's color (called the player's yard). At the beginning of the game each player rolls the die, the highest roller begins the game. The players alternate turns in a clockwise direction, the players will enter their tokens one per time on their respective starting squares, and proceed to race them clockwise around the board along the game track. To enter a token into active play from his staging area to his starting square, a player must roll a 6. If the player has no tokens yet in play and does not roll a 6, the turn passes to the next player. Once a player has one or more tokens in play, he selects a token and moves it forward along the track the number of squares indicated by the die roll. If a player rolls a 6 he may choose to advance a token already in play, or alternatively, he may enter another of his tokens into active play. The rolling of a 6 earns the player an additional bonus roll in that turn. If the advance of a token finishes on a field occupied by an opponent's token, the opponent token is returned to its owner's yard. The returned token may only be reentered into play when the owner again rolls a 6. (Unlike Pachisi, there are no "safe" squares on the game track which protect a player's tokens from being returned. A player's home column squares are always safe, however, since no opponent may enter them.
