<Li> In Hungary, this game is called "Ki nevet a végén" (Who laughs at the end). </Li> <P> Special areas of the Ludo board are typically coloured bright yellow, green, red, and blue . Each player is assigned a colour and has four tokens in their colour . The board is normally square with a cross-shaped playspace, with each arm of the cross having three columns of squares, usually six per column . The middle columns usually have five squares coloured; these represent a player's home column . A sixth coloured square not on the home column is a player's starting square . At the centre of the board is a large finishing square, often composed of coloured triangles atop the players' home columns (thus depicting "arrows" pointing to the finish). </P> <P> Two, three, or four can play, without partnerships . At the beginning of the game, each player's four tokens are out of play and staged in the player's yard (one of the large corner areas of the board in the player's colour). When able to, the players will enter their tokens one per time on their respective starting squares, and proceed to race them clockwise around the board along the game track (the path of squares not part of any player's home column). When reaching the square below his home column, a player continues by moving tokens up the column to the finishing square . The rolls of a single die control the swiftness of the tokens, and entry to the finishing square requires a precise roll from the player . The first to bring all their tokens to the finish wins the game . The others often continue play to determine second -, third -, and fourth - place finishers . </P> <P> Each player rolls the die; the highest roller begins the game . Players alternate turns in a clockwise direction . </P>
