Ludo

The four-seat board game, with three bots in the other seats. You roll, you choose which of your pieces to move, and getting home first is the whole of it. A match runs a few minutes.

A placement, not a score — this is one of two cabinets that report where you finished rather than a running total, which is why the overlay shows no number in the corner while you play.

The choice of which piece to move is the only real decision in the game, and the safe one is usually the piece furthest from home rather than the one closest to it.

This cabinet pays nothing. It is here to be played rather than earned from.

The tempo is a design parameter rather than decoration. A cabinet is allowed its own BPM and nothing else about its music, because tempo is the one musical thing a game has an opinion about — a game played in bursts wants a different pulse from one played in a held breath. At 104 this is among the slowest here, deliberately.

• Chunk Runner — Don't stop. Don't blink.
• Tower Stack — Perfect or nothing.
• Snakes & Ladders — The board decides. The cards are yours.
• ECHO — Your last run is still in the room.
