Product details
the Ludo board is tactile and comes with tactile color coded pieces
game area consists of a large cross shape, around which you move the colored pegs, circumnavigating the four arms of the cross from the 'start' to the
'home' position
This Sladecolor “Touch-&-See” version of Ludo, incorporates a ‘shape/color’ system which enables the game to be played by sight and/or touch. Whilst the colors of the playing pegs will be relatively easy to identify by touch, the embossed graphics conveying the colored areas of play and lay-out of the board, will be more difficult for someone relying on touch alone. Even for someone with good tactile perception, time will be needed for initial orientation.
