The game itself descends from the Indian game Pachisi and has been played, under one name or another, for centuries — which is a long time for a design whose central pleasure is sending someone back to the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rules take under a minute to explain. Roll, move, and land on an opponent to send their counter all the way home. That is the whole thing, and it is why it survives: no reading, no setup, nothing to learn, and an almost limitless capacity to cause offence within a family. Ages eight and up, though considerably younger children manage it fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e The holiday house, the caravan, or anywhere a game needs to be explainable to four people of wildly different ages in the time it takes to pour a drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1–4 players | Age 8+ | 16 wooden counters and a die\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wooden Games Workshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49897002205336,"sku":null,"price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cartellgames.com.au\/products\/ludo","provider":"Cartell Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
