Artful Dodger: sometimes you need to accept superior strategy. You are just not up to that level of play... ;-)

Aganju: I should have quit when I was behind!

Aganju: I should get some sort of achievement recognition for that. Oh Fencer!!!

Artful Dodger: I kept saying that game had a bug.
So I won't play it now.

crosseyed: I got out a couple of times but kept getting sent back in. I had 53 moves, 35 of which were passes. Only 3 times did I roll a 6. Each piece was knocked back in. I think it's likely rare as it's never happened to me before. But it would be interesting to calculate the odds!

Artful Dodger: Think it is never right to have so many passes. And that is what puts me off play Ludo in here.

crosseyed: I would love to see Fencer add Express Ludo to the site - the same game setup, with the following changes:

You can take a piece out of your home area with a 1 or 6

You roll 2 die EVERY TURN, and only 2 die - doesn't matter if you get a 6 and get an extra roll - just 2 roll each turn.

You can also use the 2 rolls like gammon - can use each die for different pieces, or same piece, in any order (but like gammon - have to use both if possible).

For Ludo being one of the most popular games on the site - and people liking games that are quicker - think it would be a very popular variant (and hopefully not very much extra programming.)

coan.net:I like the idea of making a more interesting Game of Ludo although it surely would create a much longer version with more strategy involved.

coan.net: That would be a far more interesting version of Ludo.
