Ludo king

VARIATIONS GAME PLAY LUDO KING Ludo played in the Indian continent features a safe square in each quadrant, normally the fourth square from the top in the rightmost column. These squares are usually marked with a star. In India Ludo is often played with two dice, and rolling  1 on a die also allows a token to enter active play. Thus if a player rolls a  1  and a  6 , they may get a token out and move it six steps.
