Ludo STAR

The legend returns

Platforms: iOS, Android

If there is one board game that every Bangladeshi kid grows up with, it has to be the legendary "Ludo". It is super cheap, easily available in even the smallest grocery stores and immense fun for all ages. However, its popularity started to wane as millennials preferred more "sophisticated" games. But then came "Ludo STAR" - an app that rejuvenated the love for this timeless game and took the simple board-game to unforeseen heights with the help of technology.

Gameberry's Ludo STAR has become an instant hit. The free app lets you sync your Facebook account and play with your friends. There are 5 modes: you can challenge your friends in a 1 on 1 or 4 player match or team up with them in a 2v2 match and even join online leagues. You can also set up a private table with 2 to 4 players or just play offline. The diverse modes let you exhaust a gargantuan amount of time in this app. The fact that you can see which of your friends are waiting to play helps with better connectivity.

Ludo STAR is a simple game with an interactive interface. It does not require an awful lot of effort and is an easy time-killer. Moreover, you can make your own "Ludo-pal" since there are players from all over the world. The game also helps you in calcifying your old friendships (or, in breaking them).

So if you still haven't hopped on the Ludo STAR hype train yet, it is totally worth a shot.
