Find your footing in Ludo
Take a moment with Ludo before moving to another game. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Play with two or four people on the same device. Follow the house rules shown on the board; internet matchmaking is not available.
Bring this focus to a round
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
From the start of a round
- Roll six to leave the yard.
- Move an eligible token by the die value; home requires an exact roll.
- Capture opponents on non-safe squares.
- Six, capture and finishing a token grant another roll; a third consecutive six forfeits that roll.
Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
See the idea in action
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
A useful caution
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
