"I didn't actually buy this to play Ludo though the instructions seem fairly easy. I got this for the value of items included. In the people packs you get 15-16 minifigs and a few small activities for $39.99 and a base runs $9.99 Why not buy this; 16 minifigs, a base plate, and minor minifig activities. All for the fine sale price of $27.99. That's close to half off what one would pay for the actual Kits. Just my old person cheap opinion."
