The History of Arrow Ludo
Ludo with a shortcut across the middle, built on the old race game Pachisi.
From Pachisi to Ludo
Ludo is the simple modern form of Pachisi, a race game from India that has been played for many centuries. Players move tokens around a cross-shaped board, send each other's tokens home and race for the centre. Over time, families and players everywhere have made up house rules, including shortcuts across the middle.
Arrow Ludo at PaperGames
Arrow Ludo is PaperGames' own version of an old family rule: arrow squares beside the middle send a token across the board, sometimes ahead and sometimes back. The board drawing and the texts are our own. The ordinary Ludo stays as a separate game.
