Ludo Blitz Glory brings the classic Indian board game into the digital age with exciting twists and features that make it more engaging than ever before. The game follows the traditional rules of Ludo but adds several modern elements to enhance the experience:
Core Rules
The game is played on a square board divided into four colored sections (red, blue, green, and yellow), each with a home column and a track leading to the center home area. Each player gets four tokens of their chosen color. The objective is to move all your tokens from the starting position (base) to the home area by rolling a six-sided die.
Players take turns rolling the die, and based on the number rolled, they can move one token that many spaces. To enter a token onto the board from the base, a player must roll a six. If a player's token lands on a space occupied by an opponent's token, the opponent's token is sent back to their base.
