Get on Steam"Ludo Online" is a digital adaptation of the classic board game, where 2-6 players race their four pawns around the board. Rolling a six allows you to enter a pawn into play and grants an extra turn. Players can occupy the same space, but if you land on an opponent's piece, they're sent back to their starting area. The first player to get all their pawns to the home row wins.
