About this game

Step back into cherished childhood memories with Aeroplane Chess, the faithful digital revival of the beloved classic board game also known as Ludo or Flying Chess. For generations, this game has been a staple of family game nights, friendly gatherings, and casual competitive fun around the world. Unlike many other digital versions that miss the cozy charm of the physical game, this edition was built using extensive player feedback to honor the original's legacy while adding modern quality of life improvements. It balances nostalgic fun with accessible, flexible gameplay that appeals to both long-time fans and new players of all ages.

The core goal of Aeroplane Chess is simple: be the first player to move all four of your colored planes from your starting hangar, around the full board path, and safely into your home base. Players take turns rolling a single die to determine their moves. Depending on your chosen rule set, rolling a 1 or 6 lets you launch a new plane out of the hangar onto the board. On each turn, you can choose which of your active planes to move the rolled number of spaces along the designated track. If you land on a space occupied by an opponent's plane, you can send that plane back to its starting hangar, adding a fun, lighthearted competitive layer to every turn.

Customizable rule sets, smooth gameplay, cross-platform social play options

Whether you're playing with distant family or local friends, Aeroplane Chess delivers lighthearted fun and gentle competition for players of every age.
