For those who haven't played the game before, Ludo King is an easy to play a strategy board game which is largely automatic, with a player's only choice is to roll a dice and select a token to move forward. And once there is a token that you can move, the computer automatically does it for you.  And while the centrepiece of the digital version of the game is Ludo, the app also comes with a Snakes & Ladders game that can be played the same you did as a kid.
