Ludo Wala: 3D & Action

Ludo Wala is classic Ludo in full 3D, built to be the best looking board you have played on.

Roll a die that actually tumbles across the board. Take your four tokens around, cut your opponents on the way, and race them home. The board is a 3D scene you can orbit, tilt and zoom, and every piece, tile and spark is drawn on your device, so nothing waits on a download.

FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Against bots on three difficulties, offline, no account, no signal • Pass and Play for 2 to 4 players on one phone • Private online rooms with a 5 letter code you send to your friends • Quick Play, which drops you straight into a game with whoever is online now

Four players in a private room can also play 2 against 2. Partner tokens can never be cut.

FIVE MINUTE LUDO Short on time? A quick game ends on a turn budget instead of waiting for somebody to get all four tokens home, and it is won on points. Squares walked, 25 for a cut, 30 for a token home. Every mode can play it.

THROW SOMETHING AT THE BOARD A shelf of toys sits next to your dice: rocket, dragon, flamethrower, hammer, grenade, rifle, bow, knife fan, sword, flash balloon and a guard dog. Fire one across the table and watch the pieces scatter. None of it touches the score. Every token settles back on the square it stood on, because a game you lose to a decoration is not a game. Cutting somebody restocks the whole shelf.

TALK AT THE TABLE Type up to 80 characters, tap a quick phrase, send one of ten hand drawn emoji that fly across every screen, or send a photo. Hold the button for live voice, or record a voice note the table can play back. Any message can be sent to one player only, and a private line is never written to the room log.

THE BOTS TALK BACK Opponents have personalities. They react when they cut you, when you throw three sixes, and when a token gets home, and they answer what you send them.

RULES YOU SET Full classic rules: safe stars, cuts, an extra turn on a six or a cut or a token home, the three six forfeit, and an exact roll to finish. Then four optional house rules the host picks before the first roll, a turn timer of 15, 30 or 60 seconds or none at all, move hints on or off, and bots to fill any empty seat.

A GAME THAT WAITS FOR YOU Lose signal and your seat plays on by itself. Come back and Rejoin puts you in the same game, with the chat still there. Your offline games are saved too.

BOARDS AND WORLDS Four board looks and six 3D worlds: a stone courtyard, a desert oasis, jungle ruins, harbor docks, a snow shrine and a molten forge. Every one is generated on your device, so switching is instant and costs no storage. What you pick is yours alone, so four players at one table can each sit somewhere different.

FRIENDS, NOT STRANGERS FINDING YOU Buddies are added by exact 6 character friend code only. Nobody can search for you by name, because there is no name search in this app at all. Invite a buddy into your room with one tap, see who is free to play, and block anyone you would rather not hear from again.

EARNED, NOT PAID FOR Coins and gems come from playing, from a welcome gift, and from a daily reward that runs a week. They buy toys, fireworks, board looks and worlds. Nothing you can buy changes a roll, a move, or who wins. No balance can ever be turned back into money, and there are no cash tables.

Game Center achievements and a leaderboard are in, for the games you finish.
