Ludo is one of the most famous board games in India, so it’s no surprise that the digital version of the game, Ludo King, has become one of the fast-growing and extremely popular multiplayer games in India, rivaling PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty in terms of fan following. In the current circumstances, as we practice social distancing and see lockdowns around the world, the game is only becoming more popular as a way to pass the time while staying connected with friends and family.
Ludo King is available on Android and Apple phones, and it’s easy to get started. The graphics aren’t that great and the dice really feel rigged at times, but it’s still fun to play. We’ve spent countless hours playing this game with friends, and it’s so simple and fun that we have no problem introducing it to people who don’t normally play games.
