Overview

Ludo Partchis is a modern mobile adaptation of the classic Pachisi board game — a strategy dice game with roots in ancient India, traditionally played by royalty. This Android implementation brings the familiar gameplay of moving tokens from start to the center of the board, competing against up to three other players or AI-controlled opponents.

The app is distributed as a ready-to-compile Android Studio project and includes AdMob monetization and GDPR consent support out of the box, making it a practical starting point for developers looking to publish a monetized casual game on the Google Play Store.

Gameplay

Players roll a virtual dice and move their chips (tokens) around the board according to the traditional Pachisi/Ludo rules. The objective is to navigate all your tokens to the center finish area before your opponents. The game preserves classic rules, including the ability to send an opponent’s token back to the starting position when you land on it.

Ludo Partchis supports both single-player mode (against the computer) and local multiplayer for 2 to 4 players on the same device, reflecting how the game has been played — socially and competitively — across generations.

Key Features

• Offline play: No internet connection is required to play — the core game logic runs entirely on-device.
• Game modes: Single-player (vs. computer AI) or local multiplayer with 2 to 4 human players.
• AI opponent: A built-in computer AI handles single-player mode, described as providing a meaningful challenge.
• Save and resume: Game progress is saved automatically, allowing players to resume interrupted sessions.
• Graphics: Layered PNG assets are used for the board and token visuals, giving the game a polished traditional aesthetic.
• AdMob integration: Both Banner and Interstitial ad formats are pre-integrated using the Google AdMob SDK.
• GDPR compliance: The project includes GDPR consent handling, required for serving personalised ads to users in the European Economic Area.

Technical Details

The project is built with Android Studio and targets the Android platform. Key integration points for developers include:

AdMob Integration

AdMob Banner and Interstitial ad units are wired into the app. To publish your own version, you will need to replace the placeholder AdMob App ID and ad unit IDs in the project with your own credentials from the Google AdMob console. These values are typically defined in AndroidManifest.xml and in the relevant Activity classes.

GDPR Consent

The project includes a GDPR consent flow, which presents users in the EEA with a choice about personalised advertising. This is implemented using a consent dialog or library that stores the user’s preference and passes it to the AdMob SDK before ads are loaded. Developers should verify that the consent implementation meets current IAB and Google requirements before submitting to the Play Store, as regulations and SDK APIs in this area are updated periodically.

Save State

Game state persistence is handled within the app, allowing interrupted games to be resumed. The exact storage mechanism (SharedPreferences, SQLite, or file-based) is not specified in the source listing and should be confirmed by reviewing the project code.

Who This Is For

This project suits Android developers who want to:

• Publish a complete, polished casual game to the Google Play Store with minimal development overhead.
• Learn how AdMob Banner and Interstitial ads are integrated into a real Android project.
• Understand GDPR consent flows in a practical, working app context.
• Use the codebase as a foundation and customise branding, rules, or visuals.
