------------HOW TO PLAY--------------
Ludo is a classic dice and race game, played with four pieces per player and a set of dice. This Ludo currently support two players with two houses each. In this game, each player controls eight pieces. The goal of the game is to move all eight pieces home before your opponent.

------------MOVEMENT OF PIECE--------
A player with red house starts the game (in a case of winning, the loser starts the game with red house).
A piece can only come out of house when a die outcome is 6 but a piece that is already on the track can move with any dice outcome. Pieces travel through the track starting from home to the middle of the board. A track contains 56 steps.
A piece can only be removed if it successfully travels through the 56 steps or if it captures opponent's piece.

----------------PIECE CAPTURE-------------------
A player's piece can capture opponent's piece if it ends in a block that is occupied by an opponent's. The captured piece must be returned home while the player's piece is removed from the board.
The secret of the game is to capture your opponent's piece as many as possible and avoid being captured by your opponent's piece.
A piece cannot capture opponent's piece if the remaining outcome cannot be used.

----------IMPORTANT NOTE-----------
1. A player can only roll dice twice consecutively or more as far as each dice outcome is 6 (first dice outcome = 6 and second dice outcome = 6).
2. Dice outcome must be played before rolling another one no matter the outcome.
3. For fast and smooth play, go to settings and turn on DIRECT COUNT.

Introduction

Naija Ludo, a captivating strategy board game originating from Nigeria, is a beloved pastime enjoyed by players of all ages. With its vibrant colors and engaging gameplay, Naija Ludo offers a unique blend of luck and skill, making it both accessible and challenging.

Gameplay

The game is played on a square board with 56 squares, arranged in a 4x14 grid. Each player has four tokens, which they must move around the board according to the numbers rolled on a single die. The objective of the game is to be the first player to move all four tokens to their home quadrant, located in the opposite corner of the board.

Movement

Players take turns rolling the die and moving their tokens clockwise around the board. Tokens can only move onto unoccupied squares or onto squares occupied by their own tokens. If a player rolls a number that allows them to land on a square occupied by an opponent's token, they can "capture" that token, sending it back to its starting position.

Home Quadrant

Once a token reaches its home quadrant, it must make a complete circuit of the quadrant before it can enter the final home stretch. The number rolled on the die determines how many squares a token can move within the home quadrant.

Special Rules

Naija Ludo incorporates several special rules that add depth to the gameplay:

* Safe Zones: Certain squares on the board are designated as "safe zones," where tokens cannot be captured by opponents.

* Double Moves: If a player rolls a double number, they can move the same token twice in a single turn.

* Blocking: Players can block opponents' tokens by positioning their own tokens on adjacent squares, preventing them from moving.

Strategy

Naija Ludo requires a combination of strategy and luck to succeed. Skilled players employ tactics such as:

* Controlling Safe Zones: Securing safe zones early in the game provides protection for tokens and facilitates movement.

* Blocking Opponents: Strategically placing tokens to block opponents' paths can hinder their progress.

* Capturing Tokens: Capturing opponents' tokens disrupts their plans and gives an advantage.

* Managing Doubles: Using double rolls effectively can significantly advance tokens and gain an edge over opponents.

Variations

Naija Ludo has numerous variations, each with its own unique rules and gameplay. Some popular variations include:

* Free Ludo: Tokens can move freely around the board without being restricted to a specific path.

* Super Ludo: Tokens can move both clockwise and counterclockwise around the board.

* Snakes and Ladders Ludo: The board incorporates ladders and snakes, adding an element of chance to the game.

Conclusion

Naija Ludo is a timeless game that combines strategy, luck, and social interaction. With its vibrant colors, engaging gameplay, and strategic depth, it offers a fun and challenging experience for players of all ages. Whether enjoyed as a casual pastime or a competitive challenge, Naija Ludo continues to captivate players across Nigeria and beyond.
