About this toy
Menchu is the name used in Iran for the race board game known in many countries as ludo. Each player has four pawns that start in a home corner. Players roll a die, move their pawns around the cross-shaped track and try to bring all four into the centre before anyone else. Landing on an opponent sends their pawn back home, which causes plenty of laughter and some friendly rivalry. This board is printed on wood, 30 × 30 cm, with a border inspired by Persian blue tile work. The set includes 16 wooden pawns in four colours and two wooden dice. Rules in English and Persian include common house variations.
