Ludo with a Gotcha twist.
Roll, hop, capture – the classic you know, with a rule that makes the whole table laugh. 2 to 6 players on one device, or online with friends.

Gotcha Mode
Turn on the bolt and the house rules kick in. Nobody can stay lazy:
Capture is a must
If you can capture a piece, you have to – even backwards.
Miss it? GOTCHA!
Anyone who spots the missed capture hits the Gotcha button. Both pieces fly home.
Don't bluff
Press it by mistake and your own piece pays the price. With several captures you tap the capturing piece first, then the victim.
