Perfect for Ludo Lovers!
If you love Ludo, you'll absolutely adore Ashta King! It shares everything you enjoy about Ludo—racing pieces home, strategic movements, capturing opponents, and that perfect blend of luck and skill. But Ashta King offers something more: a richer, more strategic experience with its unique cross-shaped board and traditional gameplay mechanics perfected over centuries. Think of it as Ludo's sophisticated ancestor with deeper cultural roots and enhanced strategic depth!

How to Play
Setup: The game features a distinctive cross-shaped board with a circular path. Each player (2-4 players) starts with four pawns at their home corner.

Movement: Players toss cowrie shells (traditionally four shells), and the number landing with openings up determines your move (1-4 spaces). This adds authentic Indian gaming flavor!

The Objective: Move all four pawns around the entire board and bring them safely home. Travel the outer path, navigate the inner sanctum, and reach your home square.

Captures: Land on an opponent's pawn to capture it! The captured piece returns to start, forcing them to begin that journey again. This creates thrilling tension—race ahead or play defensively?

Safe Zones: Certain marked squares are safe houses where pawns cannot be captured. Use these strategically to protect your pieces and plan your moves.

Victory: First player to bring all four pawns home wins! But fortunes change quickly—one capture can shift everything!
