I made my own version of ludo recently. It's excactly the same as the original except there are 4 squares on the board called "Risk" squares.
When you land on these you get a risk card which can be good, bad, really good or really bad.
Things like "Get out of dieing free", "You fall down a black hole and die".
Also some 'party' like elements, such as "Make everyone who needs one a drink" or "Roll a spliff if weed is at hand".
Me and my friends love it, really spices up a game of ludo.
Feedback?
