Ludo (/ˈljd/; from Latin ludo '[I] play') is a strategy board game for two to four[a] players, in which the players race their four tokens from start to finish according to the rolls of a single die. Like other cross and circle games, Ludo originated from the Indian game Pachisi.[1] The game and its variations are popular in many countries and under various names.
