I stand corrected :)

Old: This is probably the best known board game for small children in Norway, known as Ludo (https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludo - Norwegian).

A few people have pointed to Ludo.

Uckers and Ludo are played on the same board, but they have different rules.

Indeed as the article notes being called a "Ludo player" is an insult when playing Uckers. This game is an awful lot more about frustrating your opponent, which is what makes it fun in a mess. A good Uckers game is a spectator sport.
