About the Game

Ludus is roll & write print & play game created to help Ludus Luderia, the first boardgame café from Brazil, that was in financial difficulties due to the covid pandemic. The PNP version of the game revenue was converted to the "Friends of Ludus" campaign, which helped to keep Ludus Luderia open.

In the game, players are organizing Ludus shelves, helping to store all the games in the best possible way. Use strategy and luck to keep the games on the shelves, taking care that none of them are crushed by heavier games.

On each round, players draft dice, which define the category and format of the game that will be drawn on the shelf. The game ends when one of the players completes the fourth space on their shelf. Each game category has a different scoring condition and game diversity and filled spaces also grant victory points.

The game also features a solo mode, in which the player competes for an increasingly higher score.
