mctrivia posted this on Feature Requests, but I thought it would be interesting to discuss what we all would like to see in a Ludo Variant if Fencer was to make one.

mctrivia's suggestion:

1) Rolling 6 or 1 will get you out
2) Get to roll again if you roll a 6 or a 1
3) Consective rolls do not need to be done on the same piece. Can use 6 to get out then use next move on a different piece to move.
4) 4 players if possible.

My Suggestions:

1) Rolling 6 or 1 will get you out
2) Roll 2 dice every time. Even if you get a 6 or 1, you get no "bonus" roll
3) Yes, you can use 1 dice on one piece, and the other dice on another pices if wanted.
4) Oh.... yes, 4 player version would be good. Question: If someone wins, do the others play for 2nd & 3rd place, or whoever is closer to finishing is put into 2nd place? Also if someone resigns or times out, do their pieces get removed from the board and the others continue to play? (leaving the removed player in 4th place.)

What other ideas do people have. Maybe if we can come up with 1 set of "variant" rules that most people agree with, we might have a beter chance to get Fencer to make it. Ludo has recently taken over as the 2nd most currently played game on the site, passing Hyper Backgammon (and only behind regular backgammon).
