Greetings again today Monday March 6, 2023, to the Visualblock community. I have returned today, with another board game, because I believe that all these items of what was the culture of the past 20th century will gradually disappear, or will simply be replaced by their digital version; and for today I have brought you LUDO, which was a classic when I was a child, and although the number of players was very limited (maximum 4), sometimes we took turns, that is, we made a game ended, and another batch of players came, in this way no one who wanted to play was left out.
As I commented in my last post referring to Bingo, in the urbanization fewer children always played Ludo, precisely because it did not admit many players, but sometimes we were few, or we simply took turns and did have fun with this game. It was sometimes funny to see some who weren't playing, giving their opinion, and giving advice on how to make the play, sometimes those who were onlookers, watching the game without participating, got more excited than the players themselves, hahahaha, and made gestures , they shouted, they even said something rude
As it happened to me with Bingo, with Ludo it took me a bit to understand its dynamics. Only practice and guidance from the elders allowed me to understand and play it. I remember that at the beginning we always determined the starting order, (whoever starts first has more chances of winning), throwing a dice, which obtained the highest number, was the one who came out first. When there was a tie, that is, the same number was rolled, then we would solve it either with another roll of the dice, or sometimes we would get creative and solve it with the classic Rock, Paper, Scissors, hahahaha
Like other things from my childhood, this is a beautiful memory, those afternoons and nights, or weekends when we played together at home, and as what makes you happy, you try to have it in your life, after I become an adult, I I bought this Ludo, which is a very simple and cheap version, I bought it at a store near my house, and I've played it a few times with my family, that's why it's brand new. If you see the corner of the box, it has the marks of some sharp little teeth, that's one of my cats, which climbed onto the shelf where I keep it, and caused it to bite the box, fortunately I found it in time and took it away.
One of the things I like about this particular version is that it is made with recycled material, as indicated on the outside packaging; and if you look at some of the chips (almost all of them), you will see that they are recycled bingo ball chips, so for me it's a plus, it's cool that elements that are still in good condition are reused.
Perhaps some of you have never heard of Ludo, others perhaps have, although frankly, I think that little by little this game is falling behind in time, since I have not seen its digital version and in casinos I do not think it is a popular game, people usually prefer Bingo, Roulette, Black Jack, slot machines among others. And you, have you played Ludo?
Here I end my post today, in which I wanted to share a memory from my childhood, a unique game, in its original version. Greetings.
