Quick Ludo
The first pawn home wins the game
Quick Ludo keeps everything you know from Ludo — roll a six to come out, capture a rival pawn to send it back, stars and start squares are safe — and changes how it ends: the first player to bring one pawn all the way home wins. A game takes minutes instead of half an hour, so it is the one to play on a short break.

How to play
- 1
Race your four pawns from your yard once around the board and into your home.
- 2
Roll a 6 to bring a pawn out onto your start square. Every 6 gives you another roll.
- 3
Move one pawn by the number you rolled. If you can move, you must.
- 4
Land on a single rival pawn to send it back to its yard — and roll again.
- 5
Stars and start squares are safe, and so are two pawns of one color together.
- 6
Three 6s in a row and your turn is over.
- 7
Your home column is yours alone. Get home with the exact number — and roll again.
House rules
