in Blackburn
Pick a colour, race your pieces around the board and try to get them home first. Ludo is a straightforward choice for two to four people visiting The Board Game Café in Blackburn.
Plan your game
One round or a rematch
Allow around 20 to 40 minutes for a game, depending on the group and the rolls. Ludo works as a first game of the visit before you switch to something longer.
Agree your house rules
Ludo sets and families can differ on what a six does or which squares are safe. A quick agreement at the start keeps turns moving.
Choose when to race or catch
You can often choose between moving a piece towards home and trying to land on an opponent’s piece. Look at who’s close behind before choosing.
