Dear Friends, 

Have you heard about  Emperor Akbar's interest in Pachisi and Loodo?In his palace in a big varanda he managed to draw  loodo  board. In his free time he liked to play the game along with his queens. On throwing the throwing pieces,his slave girls are moved on the board according to the numbers in the throwing pieces.this is how he played Live Loodo in his palace. This live  board could be seen even today in FatepurSikri  the city built by Akbar.  

Quite interesting..
