I don't know what Ludo is, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that case. A description of the boardgame (with some pictures if legally possible, or a twich live session/youtube video of your team playing the game) it is based on is needed to give those uninitiated an idea of what to expect of it. People won't give money if they have no idea about what the final product could look like.


Ludo is a game where you need to roll dice to get your men around a board and in "home" to be safe, you can knock off other players pieces as you go past them.

If you've ever played backgammon, ludo is a very basic variant of Backgammon.

Ludo

Backgammon

Both great games, I much rather Backgammon tho, Good luck with your campaign Tolu I'll have a read over it when I get time and see if there is anything I could suggest to help you.

 

Stolen from wiki, incase people know it by it's other names

Nomenclature

In North America, the game is sold under the brand name Parcheesi. Variations of the game are sold under the brand names Sorry!, Aggravation, and Trouble.

In Germany, this game is called "Mensch ärgere dich nicht" which means "Man, don't get irritated", and has equivalent names in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, and Slovene. In Iran, the game is called "منچ" [Mench] which is probably an adoption of the German name. In Polish it is more commonly referred to as Chińczyk ("The Chine(s)e").

In Estonia, it is called "Reis ümber maailma" (Trip around the world).

In Greece, the game is called "Γκρινιάρης" [Griniaris] ("Grumbler") referring to typical player behaviour.

In Malaysia and Singapore, it is called "飞机棋".[6]

In Sweden it is known as "Fia", a name derived from the Latin word fiat which means "so be it!" Common variations on the name are "Fia-spel" (Fia the game) and "Fia med knuff" (Fia with push). In Denmark and Norway though, the game is known as Ludo.

In Vietnam, it is called "Cờ cá ngựa".

Ah, Mensch ärgere dich nicht! Now that I know. Must have it lying around somewhere, been forever since I last played it

Also, now I understand what was meant with Parcheesi when it got mentioned in Buffy the Vampire Slayer
