Ludo

A ludo board is normally a square marked with a cross. Each arm of the cross is divided into three columns, with the columns divided into usually six squares. The center of the cross is the finishing square which is often divided into four colored triangles. Each colored triangle is combined with a colored middle column appears as an arrow pointing to the finish. The shaft of each arrow is a player's "home column" and is five squares long.
To the left of each home column, one square from the edge of the board, is a starting square, also colored. During game play a piece moves from its starting square, clockwise around the perimeter of the board, and up the player's home column to the finishing square. In the space to the left of each arm is a circle or square to hold a player's pieces before they are allowed into play. Unlike Pacheco there are no resting squares, but the colored home column may only be entered by its own player's tokens.
