Ludo King: How to Play With Friends Online or Offline

Ludo is one of the most well-known board games in India and so it's not very surprising that Ludo King, a digital version of the game, is one of the fast-growing and highly popular multiplayer games in India, giving PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty a run for their money in terms of fan following. In the current scenario as we practice social distancing and see lockdowns around the world, the game has only become more popular, as a way of passing time while staying connected to friends and family.

Ludo King is available on both Android and Apple phones, and it is very easy to start playing. The graphics are not that great and sometimes the dice really feels rigged, but it still is a lot of fun to play. We spent countless hours playing this game with friends and it is so easy and fun that we have no problem introducing it to even those who generally don't play games.

How to play Ludo King with friends offline

In case your friends or family members are currently in the same house as you, then you can also play Ludo King with them via the game's Pass N Play Mode. Follow these steps to get started:

1. On the game's main menu, tap Pass N Play.
2. Select if all players want to play as individuals or you want to create teams of two players each.
3. Once you have all made the choice, add names for various players and choose which colour each player wants, and then tap Play. This will start a local multiplayer game with your friends who are in the same room.
4. Do note that you will be playing the game on your device, so be sure to disable notifications and other alerts to avoid distractions for everyone. If your phone has a gaming mode that blocks incoming calls and notifications, that will help a lot while playing Ludo King in Pass N Play mode.

Ludo King is a fairly easy and fun game to play with loved ones that bring back the memories of the forever classic board game. This game is also an easy recommendation for even those non-gamers. Remember, the times we are in right now, we are all in this together. To look at the bright side, we can all make the most of this time to unwind and spend a lot of quality time with our near and dear. Stay inside and stay safe.
