Describe an indoor game that you often play with friends/family.
You should say:
• Which indoor game is that
• When and how you came across it
• Whom do you like to play it with
• And explain how you play it

Answer:
Well, I think indoor games are fun. Playing them is one of the best ways to spend quality time with family and friends. There are numerous indoor games that I know about, such as snakes and ladders, carom, chess and many more. However, there is one indoor game that’s my favourite, and I play often; its name is Ludo.
As far as I can recall, I came across Ludo in my childhood. My family and I used to play this board game to entertain ourselves and make each other laugh. Today, because of technology, this game is also available on mobile phones.
I think it’s very convenient, as now it can be played anywhere among a lot of people, who are even living far away. We also don’t need to worry about the equipment required to play the game.
Basically, the game has four players, but now because of digitalisation, which I mentioned earlier, there can be more than four participants. Each player has four tokens of one colour, and all four tokens are supposed to take a circular tour of the board and reach their respective houses, which are in the middle of the board. The craziest part is if your token lands on a rival’s token, the opponent’s token is sent to the point.
In a nutshell, Ludo is not only a game; it’s an opportunity to create some beautiful memories with our loved ones and build a strong bond among people.
