Most games on a tablet are made for one child. Ddolbeng Two of Us is the opposite. Its page puts it simply: this one needs somebody else in the room.

Put one tablet between two children, sit them side by side, and let them take turns with the die. Let’s walk through a game together. 🎲

What is Ddolbeng Two of Us?

The start of Ddolbeng Two of Us: the title, "Sit side by side and take turns with the die," and a Play now button

Ddolbeng Two of Us is one of the games in Ddolbeng, our village of games for little ones. It’s a board game with ladders and snakes: two friends walk up the track, one roll at a time.

What makes it different is how it ends. The game isn’t over when the first friend arrives. It’s over when both of them do.

How to play

How do we play? The steps: sit side by side, roll on your side, climb ladders and slide down snakes, finish together

The board in play: two friends on the track, with a die on each player's side

Waiting, and cheering

The first friend has reached the goal and is cheering while the other keeps rolling

Here’s the moment we love. When one friend gets there, the turns simply keep going to the child who is still walking, and the friend at the goal cheers them on. The game ends with both friends on the last square.

So the child who is ahead has a new job: wait, watch and clap. And the child who is behind still gets to finish.

Friends you already know

The friends to choose from are the same Ddolbeng and friends who live in the village. If your children already have a favourite, they’ll probably reach for it first. Meet them all in Meet Ddolbeng and friends.
