  This is a classic game from John Waddington, related to Ludo, but has added dimensions to the game play and the board.
The object is to move 4 counters completely around the board before entering home. The correct number required to reach home must be scored, higher scores being ignored. The player to get all counters home first is the winner. The game play is made more complicated mainly by using 4 revolving discs on the board. These alter the routes available around the board and can handicap or help players as they attempt to get home. There are certain rolls of the dice and spaces on the game board which enable players to revolve these discs to their own advantage and / or disadvantage of other players.
