How to play Ludo ?

Four can play, without partnerships. At the beginning of the game, each player's four chips are out of play and staged in the player's yard. When able to, the players enter their chips one per turn on their respective starting squares and proceed to race them clockwise around the board along the game track (the path of squares not part of any player's home column). When reaching the square below his home column, a player continues by moving chips up the column to the finishing square. The rolls of a single dice control the swiftness of the chips, and entry to the finishing square requires a precise roll from the player. The first to bring all their chips to the finish wins the game. The others continue to play to determine second-finishers.
