Ludo
Create a unique Ludo / Pachisi game!
This family classic game about derailing grandma, grandpa, parents, siblings as you all try to get your meeples home is derived from the ancient Indian Pachisi. At Luudoo you can create your very own edition. By inserting colours, text, and photos, you add your personal touch. Just don't take it personal and, whoever boots who, remeber to Chill! If you are looking for an outstanding gift for grandma or grandpa's special birthday, a wedding, a wedding or leaving party, or simply something extraordinary for your family, then this might be for you.
Are the rules customised, too?
No need! Who wouldn't remember from their childhood days how to roll the dice and scramble for your individual finish zone. And how to kick out some of your opponents along the way. There may be as many sets of rules as there are families. So you may have yours whatever the 'official' rules may be, and we certainly won't mess with them. We let you customise the game board and box, with your colours, your text, and your photos. It is all up to your creativity, we just provide the handy tools.
Game charakter: Just right for every generation!
Simple rules and the ultimate joy of throwing a spanner in the works at just the right time make this board game classic an all-time family favourite. Especially with a personally customised edition, including playing pieces with pictures of your loved ones. Dice rolls determining how far your pieces may move create a significant element of luck. Which feels even better if using our customised dice, replacing the coveted number 6 with a pciture of your choice. But by cleverly choosing which piece you move, you will slowly but surely carve out an advantage - until you get the boot.
Your design options for Ludo
You may design your very own custom edition according to your wishes and preferences, including your own text and photos. Based on a range of templates—you will find what your need for birthdays, weddings, or any other occasion—you may choose text and colours for the board and the box. Place pictures on the starting squares; print a message on the board; and choose a colour scheme. Whatever suits you or the recipient of your gift. By the way, did you know you could select a heart-shaped board. Whether Valentine's Day is creeping up or there's a big wedding anniversary to celebrate - match fun with heart-shaped love, it's a great recipe.
You may add a further personal touch by adding custom figurines, based on their photos. Just as long as you Chill! when the birthday girl, your mother in law, kicks you off the board as you're about to make it home. Or by printing your nephew's picture on the dice.

A4 printable rules for Ludo / Pachisi
Overview
Countless variants of this game exist, derived from Indian game Pachisi. Chill!, Ludo, Sorry! Pachisi, Wahoo, Aggravation, and Parcheesi are but a few examples. Likewise, there may exist about as many sets of house rules as there are families.
Introduction
Two, three, or four can play, without partnerships. At the beginning of the game, each player‘s four tokens are out of play and staged in the player‘s yard (one of the large corner areas of the board in the player‘s colour). When able to, the players will enter their tokens one per turn on their respective starting squares, and proceed to race them clockwise around the board along the game track (the path of squares not part of any player‘s home column). When reaching the square below his home column, a player continues by moving tokens up the column to the finishing square. The rolls of a single die control the swiftness of the tokens, and entry to the finishing square requires a precise roll from the player. The first to bring all their tokens to the finish wins the game. The others often continue to play to determine second-, third-, and fourth-place finishers.
Gameplay
Each player rolls the die; the highest roller begins the game. Players alternate turns in a clockwise direction.
To enter a token into play from its yard to its starting square, a player must roll a 6. The player may draw a token from home every time he gets a 6 unless home is empty or move a piece 6 times. The start box has 2 own tokens (is doubled). If the player has no tokens yet in play and rolls other than a 6, the turn passes to the next player.
Players must always move a token according to the die value rolled. Once a player has one or more tokens in play, he selects a token and moves it forwards along the track the number of squares indicated by the die. A token may land on an opponent’s token to capture it but may not move past that token. Passes are not allowed; if no move is possible, the turn moves to the next player.
Rolling a 6 earns the player an additional or „bonus“ roll in that turn. If the bonus roll results in a 6 again, the player earns again an additional bonus roll. If the third roll is also a 6, the player may not move and the turn immediately passes to the next player.
If the advance of a token ends on a square occupied by an opponent‘s token, the opponent token is returned to its owner‘s yard. The returned token can be reentered into play only when the owner rolls a 6. If a piece lands on the same space as another piece of the same colour, the pieces are doubled and form a „block“. If the advance of a block ends on an opponent’s block, the latter is captured and returned to its owner’s yard, collectively.
A player‘s home column squares are always safe since no opponent may enter them. In the home column, you cannot jump over your token. Roll the exact number needed to get each token onto the finishing square.
