Ludo and Parcheesi both stemmed from the ancient Indian game, Pachisi. There are two main differences between Ludo and Parcheesi: The dice and the map. Ludo only has one die, whereas Parcheesi has two. This means that lower numbers tend to be rolled in Ludo. Parchisi has a map that is much more similar to the traditional Pachisi game map. It is a more linear and simple shape. On the other hand, Ludo has a more intricate square design with arrows leading to the center of the map.
