Gameplay
Air Ludo is a strategy board game for two or four players, played on a square grid with 16 squares on each side. Each player has four pieces, which they move around the board according to the roll of a die. The goal of the game is to be the first player to move all four of their pieces around the board and into their home square.
Setup
The game is set up by placing each player's four pieces in their starting square, which is located in the corner of the board. The starting squares are colored to match the pieces, and each player has a different color.
Gameplay
Players take turns rolling a die and moving one of their pieces around the board. The number on the die determines how many squares the piece can move. If a piece lands on a square that is occupied by another piece, the other piece is sent back to its starting square.
Special Squares
There are four special squares on the board, which are located in the center of each side. These squares are called "safe squares", and pieces that land on them cannot be sent back to their starting square.
Home Square
The home square is located in the center of the board. When a piece lands on the home square, it is safe from being sent back to its starting square. The first player to move all four of their pieces into their home square wins the game.
