Tactile magnetic Ludo

This Ludo (also known as Parchis) board game is tactile and magnetic making accessible to everyone aged six and over.

The objective of the game is to race all your pawns (in this case, magnetic, tactile coloured counters) around the board to the finishing area. The first player to successfully move all four pawns around the board is the winner. If you want to play by Parchis rules, you can incorporate extra rules to make the game more strategic and complex. For example, blockades can be made by two pawns – but only in 'safe squares', and pawns can 'eat' each other if they land on a square that is already occupied. The 'eaten' pawn is then sent back to the start. These additional rules add more strategy to the game and mean that it is not entirely dependent on the luck of your dice roll.

The board has clear tactile markings for each starting circle, the track, home straight and home triangles. The coloured Start squares on the board are marked with a tactile symbol to match the coloured counters, for example, green has a tactile cross, while red had a tactile dot.

Each corner of the board has the colour of the starting circle in contracted braille, and each square of the track has a braille number, with numbers oriented in the direction of play. (Please note, there is no initial numeral sign and the numbers change direction, as you move around the board.)

The round counters are magnetic and stick well to the board when horizontal. Each colour counter is marked with a tactile symbol: dot, single line, double line and cross.

The game includes one tactile dice. Packs of two tactile dice (GB116) are also available to purchase.
