What Makes Simply Ludo Stand Out
Roll a lot of "six"
Best selling Ludo game on iOS, over 5,000,000 worldwide downloads.
Ludo is a simple board game for two to four players. In the game, the players race their four tokens from start to finish according to dice rolls.
The game is originated from the traditional Indian game Pachisi. It has different variations all over the world with minor differences in rules. These includes Sorry!, Tock, Mensch ärgere dich niche. In this game we use the Chinese rule that introduced more randomness and fun. It also came with a plane theme and called Aeroplane Chess (or Flying Chess) in China.
Features
- Play against the computer AI

Community Insight:
We love this game but we cant play it no more. Please update to iOS11. Please please please.
Cant play it anymore and we are really bummed, love this game but our iPad did an update and now it wont work.
This is a nice relaxing game. We started playing this game like 6 years ago on our iPod. It was addicting. We wasn't able to do an update to update the latest version on the iPod so we are thrilled to have been able to find that this game is still around and was able to download it. We just have one issue…. It's a darn good game.!! It would be nice if there was a glow light version. It would be so cool to play with lights off before bed.
We would really like to keep playing this game, pleas update.
This game is a lot of fun when it lets you win. Occasionally. The AIs magically get the best dice rolls. The blinking ads are insanely annoying. During the election there were anti trump ads on a constant loop.
There are several varieties of Ludo games available, & this is the best hands down because this version includes a feature that allows you to fly through an opponent's "safety" zone & smack him back to start. That adds an element of strategy that other versions lack.
Love this game. We've only played against the computer and while we haven't done any calculations, we feel we win more games.
This game is real fun, and the opponents can get real vindictive! Great fun, the dice are fair, fun, fun, fun. Download and you won't b disappointed.
This game is awesomely simple, yet fun when looking for something to do to pass the time. You can play against computer/ app itself or pass& play against others. Either way the fun never runs out. One more thing. Plus there is NO constantly pestering "reminders" to buy/ purchase anything. Which is a total plus in our book. You can purchase things, but there is NO NAGGING to buy it. Yay.
We used to play this game all the time when we were little. Still like it very much.
This is a great game. We play it all the time. Also have it on our tablet.
Love this game. Be careful. It's addictive.
It's a great game! Our boyfriend and we had soon much fun with the multiple player version:).
Love it! Played the board game as a child.
Love this game. We enjoy playing it all day when we're bored and do want to be bothered.
We use to play this game when we were a child in Africa. We were glad to see it in the App Store. We have all five of our children playing. Classic game.
It's a great reinvention of the classic ludo game. The interface is great to play on and the options are just right.
Reminds us of the game that we played as a kid we think the computer gets better rolls because the computer can send u home faster than u can the computer the only down fall to this game.
One of the better game apps we've gotten for iPad. Limited bells and whistles, just a great board game! Would love to see more themes.
We've played some other ludo games, but none of them came close compare to this one. Love it. It's the best.
Addictive , we play it all the time.
Enjoy playing alone and with our kids.
This is an excellent game! It's addicting and can be enjoyed by everyone at different age.
A lot like trouble. It's an awesome in between game.
Fun game with which to pass the time.
We grew up playing this game on a real board and now it's the perfect little game app for passing the time with our kids while we wait in lines.
We have played this game for several years almost every night before bed! It's simple but fun. We have no complaints just a few suggestions about sound effects to make the game even more enjoyable….restore the clapping at the win of a game even when you don't have the music on like you used to. Also would like a "happy" sound effect both when you enter the home stretch and are safe as well as when your token actually goes home. The same sound for all activities is boring. We love this game and sound effects are the only thing we want to make this game perfect! We have tried all the other versions of the game and yours is by far the best.
Online play option would be nice.
Games of the best of old and beautiful can not be waived, even in advanced age.
Great game! Been playing for 4 1/2 years now. Put our EarPods on and we can be playing for hours.
BEST GAME EVER!!! … … … (Not).
We play this game every single day.
The reason we gave it a 4/5 score is because when you advance into your home stretch, unless you roll the exact winning number, you have to move back and forth until you get lucky and roll the right number. This is where sixes are the worst to get because the extra free roll prolongs the game even longer. We hate that.
We like how simple this game is and we can play with our brother and nieces and sisters with this game. We used to use a better graphic Ludo game, but took away the single player and option to play against one's self and other people and friends we know. Don't get us wrong, we like playing against other people. We just want the option of playing with people we know and love, as well as those we don't know and can make friends with. The poor graphics is why we gave this app 4 stars.
Awesome game! Really entertaining.
The computer cheats, it rolls exactly what it needs when it needs a kill. BEWARE.
Great time killer! We wish the board was prettier.
Great game good time pass. Lowering one star because to play with your friends you have to pay for the app upgrade. Other wise fun beating CPU bots. Recommend their uno app as well.
Overall good game. The computer seams to Win more than we but it's still a good game.
Fix the occasional crash, and add more coin options, and you get 5 stars.
This game is fun a great way to pass time.
We like this game better than the Christmas Ludo. You can win more often.
A little fun game to relax with.
Good game, only drawback is for more than a single player you need to buy the full application:((.
Good game would prefer more settings.
Unless there is an update soon, we'll be forced to remove it since it won't be compatible with future updates of our phone as is it currently.
A better name would be Simply Rape. We won't even go into details. It has a lot to do with the programmers you hire, but we can call the AI's dice throws ahead of time. We're right about 97% of the time. This is something that transcends luck. If they could eliminate this obvious fault the game would be nearly perfect.
So let us first start with telling you how much we love this game. It takes us back to a board game that was popular in the 1950s in St. Louis called Skip Jack. And we do play this game nearly every day and most the time several times a day. That being said, you have got to fix the fact that this game crashes. It might not be such a big deal except for the fact we spend money purchasing magic dice. Then we're in the middle of the game where we may have already used three or four magic dice to give ourselves an advantage and then it crashes. And we have wasted those 3 to 4 magic dice.. Please work on this. We have written to you before about it but we feel as if our review is falling on deaf ears.
Game is fun but it would be nice if we can play against a real person & not a computer. Also it says your supposed to get three different themes, we only get one.
Intuitively sensible. Wish it were possible to vary the rules of play. Thanks.
