About Ghana Ludu
Ludu is one of Ghana's most loved board games. A mix of luck, strategy and pure vibes. Whether you're sending your opponent “home” or praying for a 6 to start or to kick your opponent, the chaos never ends. This version brings the same energy to your browser. I built this with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
The Ludu wickedness
Already in the game:
- Forward kick: land on an opponent while moving forward to kick them out
- Back kick: count backward to hunt an opponent down
- Side kick: land parallel to an opponent, send them home and take their spot
- Line of sight: a token in the middle lane shields side kicks
- Blockades: 2+ stacked tokens are a wall — cross it and you bounce back, move wasted
- Roll banking: every 6 banks and you roll again, then spend the combo
- The lone striker trap: kick with your only active token and the rest of your combo burns
- Home kick: invade an opponent's home line with an exact count, then fight your way out
- Roll banking: every 6 grants another roll — count now or roll again, your choice
- Combine your banked values into one count to reach a kick
- The lone striker gotcha: kick with your only token, then move it, and the kick doesn't count
- Kicks are always optional — sometimes the wickedness is not kicking
- Choose which token to move after rolling
- 2, 3 or 4 players, pick your colours, pick who starts
- Rule presets: Classic, Street, No Mercy
Coming soon:
- Animation when sending a token home
- Sound effects for dice rolls and kicks
- An AI opponent (play with computer)
- Online multiplayer (play with friends)
