Question 18
```PASSAGE
Those who are familiar with it will tell you that Ludo, like human itself, is a game both of chance and skill. You need skill in deciding how to make the most advantageous use of the figures that turn up on the die when you cast it. Since each player has least four alternative ways of using his figures, two players with equal luck may fare differently, depending on how cleverly each one uses his figures.
The element of luck, again as in human life, plays a dominant role however. No matter ho, skilful a player may be using the figure he gets on the die, he has a slim chance of winning if he continually throws low figures. While a combination of ones and twos may be useful in checking the advance of one's opponents, it will not take one home last enough to win. On the other hand consistent throws of six and fives, with even the very minimum of skill, will help a player to horn,: all his four counters before any of the three other players, unless, of course, he has no idea of the game at all.```
