Ludo: The race round the cross everyone grew up with: roll a six to get out, knock rivals back to their yard, bring all your tokens home first.
Also known as: pachisi, ludo online, ludo with friends.
2-8 players. A free online classic game in the browser: one person hosts, everyone else joins by phone.
How to play
Roll the die. You need a 6 to bring a token out of your yard onto your start square.
Move one token forward by the roll. Land on a rival and they go back to their yard, except on start squares and stars, which are safe.
Roll again after a 6, a capture or a token reaching home. Three 6s in a row and you lose the turn.
Tokens go round the board, up your colour's home column and into the centre by exact count.
First colour with every token home wins; play goes on for 2nd and 3rd place. With 5 or more players, teams of two share a colour.
