The Rich History of Ludo

Ludo traces its roots to the ancient Indian game of Pachisi, played in the royal courts of Mughal emperors over 1,500 years ago. The game traveled through trade routes to Victorian England, where it was simplified and patented as 'Ludo' in 1896. Today, Ludo Race brings this timeless classic to the digital age, connecting players across the globe.

The name 'Ludo' comes from the Latin word for 'I play'.
Emperor Akbar played a human-sized version of Pachisi in his court at Fatehpur Sikri.
Ludo is known by different names worldwide: Parcheesi (USA), Parchís (Spain), Mensch ärgere Dich nicht (Germany).
