The rules of flying chess

Ludo is a competitive game consisting of four colors with airplane graphics on it. Up to four people can play together with each color.

There is a dice in Ludo. You just need to roll the dice. When the dice stops, whichever side it is on, you take a few steps. At the beginning, your plane can only take off if you roll six, and if you roll six, you have a chance to roll again. Special note is that the number of steps taken at the end must be exactly reached to be considered a victory, otherwise you have to go back and walk again.

The circular path design of flying chess comes from the "Laverbury Circle" in aerial combat. The Frenchman Laverbury improved the German "Great Circle Formation" tactic so that the aircraft participating in the formation not only kept flying on a horizontal plane, but also could hover in a circle and climb higher. In this way, the defensive formation can be used to circle to gain a height advantage and wait for opportunities to attack.

This is the famous "La Verbury Circle". At that time, people invented this kind of chess to use an advanced air combat tactic.
