Is ludo and backgammon related? Though not the same, there are some similarities. 1. if your piece land on an opponent piece, you send him home. 2. if you stack up your pieces, you protect them from being capture. 3. I played a version that rolls two dices at a time and a free replay whenever you roll double, i.e. similar to backgammon again.
Can the history and the talk page of the board game be associated with the new disambiguated page? I don't really know how to fix this. Vadmium 02:15, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I think I was referring to a WP:cut-and-paste move that got reverted a couple months later. Vadmium ( talk) 01:52, 28 May 2011 (UTC).
The Slovenian game link seems to just go to a chat page... I won't delete it, because I don't speak the languages to know if I'm missing something!
I have removed the following recent addition from the article:
When more than one piece is on the move, it is not correct that "absolutely no player skill is involved". I'm not sure the rest of this section really belongs to this encyclopaedia article. Feel free to put it back in, but please make sure it is correct.-- Niels Ø 07:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I find several bits of the description utterly confusing. Would something mind explaining (in the article!) what these statements mean?
I assume there is some sort of pattern of moving from the starting square out into the uncolored squares (starting where?), along the white ones (stopping on the triangles in the middle?), then to the colored home row (entering it where?) and finally to the center? Can someone explain how a single red marker would move around the board? That would help greatly!
Pictures should be used for explaining how the pieces move. Anyone good with vector graphics? Tronic2 ( talk) 07:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Momo2008 uk recently added three paragraphs about ludo in East Africa. I wonder:
-- Noe ( talk) 09:42, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
This seems to be the same game as Kimble/Trouble [1] but just with a different board. Could someone who knows more write a section about their similarities and differences? Tronic2 ( talk) 07:08, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Are the globe and star spaces unique to Denmark? I have never seen a board without them.

I wrote one in the Hebrew article, so in case I do not translate it, feel free to write it yourselfs. Eddau ( talk) 18:02, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
The "other variants" section should somehow link to the article and the category on cross and circle games. And list of national names and variants should be either complete, balanced ("due weight"), or absent (except for the aforementioned links).-- Nø ( talk) 08:53, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
The gameboard is precisely the same. They are identical gameboards. Doesn't that provide basis enough, that Uckers is closely related to Ludo enough, that Uckers would qualify as a 'See also' item, at the Ludo article? (Looking at the same question from a different perspective, if Uckers is not included as a 'See also' item at the Ludo article, when their gameboards are precisely the same and identical ... wouldn't that cause a bit of confusion to an average reader ... seeing that there is no link whatever or connection or mention of game of Uckers, at the Ludo article?)
I could understand disclusion without a criteria for comparing the closeness of their relationship, if there were, say, multiple games that use the same board, that have their own articles. Maybe there are. (Do you know if their are? My assumption is that Uckers is the only other game, that has its own article, using that precise gameboard. Maybe that is wrong. Do you know if there are any others?)

I have heard of this imitation called "Don't be Angry". Is that simply an imitation of Ludo? Qwertyxp2000 ( talk | contribs) 23:54, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
An IP user recently added this:
I agree this is an interesting variation, but someone are likey to revert the addition because (a) it's not quite encyclopaedic in style, and (b) it lacks a valid source/citation. Is there a source one could cite for this?
Another thing, what is this game called in Pakistan? We have a rather unfortunate situation on Wikipedia where there's one article on Ludo, another on Parcheesi, etc., though these games are really just variations or different localized names for one and the same game - see also Cross and circle game. Perhaps this addition belongs in one of those other articles? (Actually, in terms of likely cultural travel routes, I'd guess the game in Pakistan either descends directly from the Indian Pachisi, or comes through the British Ludo, rather than through the American Parcheesi - but I don't know.)-- Nø ( talk) 14:52, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
In the nomencaltuer section, we say:
"Upset" was "irritated" until a recent edit. Google translate suggests "Man, don't fret". My German is not good so I may be influenced by the similar Danish "ærgre", but I think "ärgere" is more "irritate" or "annoy" than "upset" or "fret". (Another thing: "Man" must here be in the sense "human", but I guess "man" is the best translation in agreement with current English usage and style.)-- Nø ( talk) 07:16, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

– Per pageviews analysis of past 12 months of 9 articles starting with "Ludo", Ludo (board game), Ludo (film) and Ludo King (not mentioned at dab) have comparable pageviews with the board game coming on top by a small margin, while the remaining Ludos are far far below them. However, both Ludo (film) & Ludo King (mobile game app) are named so because of the Ludo (board game) and their names are thus, dependent on it. Ludo (board game) has far greater long-term significance than a 2020 bollywood movie & a mobile game app and hence is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Ludo".

I realise I'm not logged in, don't have an account, and I have no intention of editing. I just wanted to point out that there is a Jamaican variant of Ludo,known as Ludi, played with much excitement and delight on the streets of Brixton, London,(they balance the board on a bin top near here). I believe some gambling goes on ;). Obviously I won't edit this in myself, but I hope someone here can find a source for it and put it in. 82.69.45.81 ( talk) 15:21, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
