------------HOW TO PLAY--------------
Ludo is a classic dice and race game, played with four pieces per player and a set of dice. This Ludo currently support two players with two houses each. In this game, each player controls eight pieces. The goal of the game is to move all eight pieces home before your opponent.

------------MOVEMENT OF PIECE--------
A player with red house starts the game (in a case of winning, the loser starts the game with red house).
A piece can only come out of house when a die outcome is 6 but a piece that is already on the track can move with any dice outcome. Pieces travel through the track starting from home to the middle of the board. A track contains 56 steps.
A piece can only be removed if it successfully travels through the 56 steps or if it captures opponent's piece.

----------------PIECE CAPTURE-------------------
A player's piece can capture opponent's piece if it ends in a block that is occupied by an opponent's. The captured piece must be returned home while the player's piece is removed from the board.
The secret of the game is to capture your opponent's piece as many as possible and avoid being captured by your opponent's piece.
A piece cannot capture opponent's piece if the remaining outcome cannot be used.

----------IMPORTANT NOTE-----------
1. A player can only roll dice twice consecutively or more as far as each dice outcome is 6 (first dice outcome = 6 and second dice outcome = 6).
2. Dice outcome must be played before rolling another one no matter the outcome.
3. For fast and smooth play, go to settings and turn on DIRECT COUNT.

Introduction:

Naija Ludo, a beloved board game in Nigeria, is a vibrant blend of strategy, luck, and social interaction. Its roots can be traced back to the ancient Indian game of Pachisi, but Naija Ludo has evolved into a uniquely Nigerian experience.

Gameplay:

The game is played on a board with four arms radiating from a central square. Each player has four tokens that start in their home triangle. The goal is to move all four tokens around the board and into the central square, known as "home."

Players take turns rolling a single die and moving their tokens accordingly. The die roll determines the number of spaces a token can move. If a token lands on a space occupied by an opponent's token, the opponent's token is sent back to its home triangle.

Special Rules:

Naija Ludo has several special rules that add excitement to the gameplay.

* Double Roll: If a player rolls a double, they get an extra turn.

* Blocking: Players can block their opponents' tokens by placing two of their tokens on adjacent spaces.

* Star Points: Certain spaces on the board are designated as star points. If a token lands on a star point, it cannot be sent back to home.

* Home Stretch: Once a token enters the central square, it is safe from being sent back.

Strategy and Skill:

While luck plays a role in Naija Ludo, strategy and skill are essential for success. Players must carefully consider their moves, anticipating their opponents' actions and maximizing their chances of reaching home.
