How Dis Mek: Ludo boards

Every Jamaican who has played Ludo knows the pain of being mere steps from home and being sent right back to the start by an unfortunate roll of the dice, or the vengeful hand of a fellow player.

It’s a game that unites us, divides us, and can make us happy and vex in equal measure. For most of us, Ludo is played on age-old boards that we 'born-come-see', or a family member just came home with a board one evening. The Jamaica Observer went to Olympic Gardens to find out the story behind the creation of these pieces on this episode of How Dis Mek?.
