playBunny: Thank you for your response. I accept that people will develop many variations of a game, but I assume that somewhere there are basic rules of the game. As I look at the game preseted on this site it seems to be 95% chance with very little tactical skill facilitated. Of all the variations you mention, the 2 which would allow most tactical expression are the individual use of the dice rolls and the ability to stack and block. Maybe a variation of the present game could be added at some stage?

I'm new to LUDO on this site and find one of the rules very strange! At the start of my game I rolled 6, 6, 2. I assumed I could move 2 men out with the 6s and move one of them 2 with the 2. But NO! I must make all the moves with one man! Very different from how we played the board game all those years ago.
