Ludo STAR : 2017 (guide)

=====Ludo STAR : 2017 (guide)=== Ludo 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 rolls of a single die. Like other cross and circle games, Ludo is derived from the Indian game Pachisi, but simpler. The game and its variants are popular in many countries and under various names. -------Rules--------- 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 one of the large corner areas of the board in the player's colour (the player's home base or yard  ). When able to, the players will enter their tokens one per time 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 racing tokens up the column to the finishing square. The rolls of a single cube 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 play to determine second-, third-, and fourth-place finishers.
