LEGO Ludo Game Reviews
The Brothers Brick
“With the 10.2 cents per piece the 40198 LEGO Ludo Game is not a particularly cheap toy and a bit more expensive than traditional versions. The reason for the price is, of course, 16 minifigures and a number of large plates and a baseplate, all of which increase the price... More significantly. However, I can't find a way to call the price unfair. Unlike many other LEGO sets, the Ludo game comes with countless hours of easily customisable gaming sessions. The board, the figures, the rules — everything can be changed, and the size of your LEGO collection is the only limit. All in all, the set makes a very positive impression and we are looking forward to trying out more LEGO board games in the future.”
“Perfect mix of Lego and the Classic boardgame Lido, what's not to like? Although a simple construction it still takes a while to build. It is colourful, functional and a decent novelty level with room to add on your own little extras if feeling creative. The game plays... More exactly like the original and can take a few hours to complete if played in a cut throat fashion, more fun this way with adults.”
