Di we still have all those old games and our Children and now the Grandchildren have all been taught to play them. The new version of Lodo is called Frustration or Trouble depending on what firm made it, the dice in these games are inside a clear plastic dome which is pressed to make the dice bounce and turn around or over . With the old Lodo each player choose a colour and has four counters (Dibs) at home in the same coloured square, you then take turns in throwing the dice.
The aim was to go right around all the white spaces with out getting landed on by another colour (opponent).
On reaching the bottom your ladder you had to climb it.
You do this with all four counters and the first one to get them all up the ladder won.
We always throw a 6 for every counter to start, however you can have as many of your counters going around the board as you like as long as they all start when a 6 is thrown.
If you throw a 6 you have another turn.
If you manage to get two of your counters on white space at the same time you can block others from passing, as long as you still have another counter on the to move when it is your throw.
Well Di I hope I have made that as clear as MUD for you :lol: :lol: :lol:
