What could be more of a classic than the board game 'Ludo', whose Latin root name, Ludus, literally means Game? Developed in Britain in 1896, it remains popular worldwide, particularly on the palm spotted banks of the Caribbean and the frozen Swedish tundra, both places where the climate demands serious attention to leisure and game play. A simplified version of the traditional Pachisi, this is an extremely fun strategy game where decision making is key to clinching a win. A great game for two to four players the game advances as the players move their four pegs from the start to finish according to dice rolls, racing to get all pieces exactly in the home column of their color. Several fun variations exist worldwide that add regional flavor to this Game of all Games. This quality set comes with a brightly colored, solid wooden game board, painted wooden playing pieces and a wooden dice.

Great Toy, good quaity
This used to be one of my favorite games when I was little. i was waiting for my son to be old enough so he can learn it quickly, so now that he is 5 i got it for him (and us) and he learned it very quickly. I love playing with him. This is both a chance and strategy game. It requires good observation. But it is very easy at the same time. This particular one is of great quality, very pretty. I am very happy with the size.

It is okay!
It is small, with wooden pegs. I really would like to find the larger wooden Wahoo board that has marbles.

Well built game...
I bought this while looking for a different version (my grandfather hand-made a very similar game and I was trying to find the same one). Well built, easy to play, fun even for my kids - my only complaint is the wooden dice, which seem unevenly weighted. Good value purchase overall.

No shortcut space on this board
No center shortcut space exists on this board.... don't know why they didn't include this crucial detail because they have room for it??????

Wished it was bigger
I bought this because in africa we have the African Ludo that is made with glass. so I thought wood at least would prevent breakage. This toy is still fun but I think a big too small in my opinion. so if you prefer a bigger one, dont buy this one.(especially if you have played in africa..dont buy this one, you will be disappointed)
