Ludo is a children's game created in late Victorian times and based upon the ancient Indian game of Pachisi. There are other Western versions of Pachisi such as Parchís from Spain, Parcheesi from the USA and Uckers, a form of Ludo played in the Royal Navy (and apparently some non-British navies) on a Ludo board.
A Ludo board is is square with a pattern on it in the shape of a cross, each arm being divided into three adjacent columns of eight squares. The middle squares form the home column for each colour and cannot be landed upon by other colours. The middle of the cross forms a large square which is the 'home' area and which is divided into 4 home triangles, one of each colour. At each corner, separate to the main circuit are coloured circles (or squares) where the pieces are placed to begin.Counters start their circuit one square in from the end of the arm and adjacent to the starting circle. Avoid modern boards which incorrectly place the first square at the end of the arm.The starting square, the starting circle, the home triangle and all the home column squares are coloured to match the corresponding pieces.Each player chooses one of the 4 colours (green, yellow, red or blue) and places the 4 pieces of that colour in the corresponding starting circle. A single die is thrown to determine movement.
When a piece has circumnavigated the board, it proceeds up the home column. A piece can only be moved onto the home triangle by an exact throw.The first person to move all 4 pieces into the home triangle wins.
Ludo was first conceived by Jaques over a century ago and we have been making Ludo boards ever since to the highest quality and craftsmanship whilst retaining the originality and authenticity of the original Ludo game.

This is the board from a Ludo game I bought. From my previous experience with the game, I am familiar with the central cross-shaped path area, and the "HOME PATH" is the coloured bits in the center corresponding to each player. I don't remember the outside track with the green, orange and blue circles.

This set also includes easy-to-follow game rules in written and picture form.
Once the game begins, players take turns rolling their die. You must first roll a six to move a piece out of your starting box. When you have only one piece to move, your freed piece will move automatically. From here on out, every six you roll will allow you to either move a new piece onto the board, or move one already on the board. You'll also get a free roll after rolling a six. Once you have multiple pieces on the board, you may choose which piece to move after rolling the die.
There are some spots on the board where your piece will be protected from being sent back home. If you have more than one piece on the board, try to keep at as many of them as possible on a colored or star space. This way one piece travels the board while the others are kept in reserve. If all of your pieces are currently safe, move pieces that don't have opposing pieces right behind them.
The game contains a board divided into four, and dice used by the players in their turn. Each player has 4 tokens colored in different ways for each player. The target of the game is to order first the checkers in the finish area.
The Ludo board is divided into 4 squares colored usually in yellow, green, red, and blue. Each player is assigned a color and has four tokens in the same color. The board is square with a cross-shaped play space, with each arm of the cross having three columns of squares, usually six per column.
The use of digital games for educational support can motivate students, but this use should be well exploited for pedagogical success, behaving as allies in the conventional process, addressing the concepts seen in the classroom. Thus, this paper presents considerations and results on the creation and testing of Ludo Educational Atlantis, which is an educational digital game system, in which students of elementary school can participate in an electronic board game. It challenges are presented in the form of questions and answers defined by a responsible teacher who can monitor the results of their students. For initial validation, the game was used in a State School of São Carlos-SP, in a Science discipline, being reported in this paper the considerations and results from this experience.
