About

I wanted to try making a 3D game with Defold and got an interesting idea that could be fun using the Ludo board game as a base. Unfortunately due to time constraints I had to come up with a different twist and ended up with this.

Thank you for trying it out! :)

Rules

You can throw dice on your champions turn only and you cannot choose which pawn to move. During your champions turn you get to choose what the result of the dice roll is (1-6). Basic Ludo rules apply, mostly.

• Clockwise turns.
• A dice roll of 1 or 6 is needed to leave the starting area.
• If there are no legal moves, then the turn passes to the next player.
• Landing on opponents pawns will send them to the starting area.
• If two of the same colored pawns land on the same slot then they create a block which denies the earlier rule.
• It is not possible to go over other pawns.
• The game ends when one color has all four pawns in the goal slots, which require exact dice rolls.
• A throw of 6 gives another turn, except for your champion!
