Objective:

Like Ludo game Player must move all his four pawn to destination zone which is located at the center of the grid before other players do.


Game Rules:

1. Every player has a pre designed path to reach destination zone. So when player gets a number, then he/she needs to choose one of their released pawns and move it that many squares along the path designated for that player.

2. Only one pawn can stand on a zone or square except on a safe zone or square which marked with special design patterns. So if player X’s pawn stands on a zone and player Y’s pawn is moving to the same zone then player Y pawn can kill Player X’s pawn. Then player X’s pawn will go back to the starting zone and gets blocked again.

3. The game grid is divided into 2 lanes middle and inner. Player has to kill at least one opponent’s pawn to enter into middle 3lane.(This rule excluded from my game)

4. When player rolls 4, 8 or kills opponent pawn he/she will get another chance to roll.

5. Reaching the central square: A pawn needs to reach the central square exactly. For example, if a pawn is
3 squares away from the center and the player throws a 4, then that pawn cannot be moved.
