In the English-speaking world, Ludo (Latin for I play
) is the
most common name of a group of games known elsewhere as
Fia med knuff,
Mensch ärgere dich nicht,
Eile mit Weile,
Le jeu de dada,
Petites chevaux,
and many other names. These games are not completely identical, there are
local rule variations, but they are all derived from the Indian game
Pachisi.
