A Ludo game
langa kattai
Langa Kattai is a famous and simple
traditional game played in villages by
adults betting money. A dealer hosts
this game. The money lost by the
players while playing goes to him, and
he is responsible for giving the winners
their prize money. Kids also play this
game without betting.
The Game
Requirement
Specialized Board and Dice with a
container to roll the dice.
Board
The board is a specially made square
board divided into 4 as shown in the
figure, and then any Pictures or playing
card symbols are drawn on the board.
Dice
Three Dices specially made with the
faces having the pictures or symbols as
in board.
The Kids Game
All the kids playing the game get a chance to roll the dice. The kids play
by betting Tamarind seeds or by just noting down the points they
betted. The kid with more tamarind seeds or with maximum pot is the
winner of the game.
The game as played in other countries
In Denmark and some other countries the board has eight spaces
marked with a globe and eight with a star. The globes are safe spaces
where a piece cannot be captured. The exception is that a player who
has not yet entered all pieces, can always enter a piece on a roll of 6. If
the entry space is occupied by another player's piece, that piece is
captured. Otherwise the entry spaces work like the other globe spaces.
A piece which would have landed on a star instead moves to the next
star.
