How to play Ludo
Read the aim of Ludo, then make your first move. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Play with two or four people on the same device. Follow the house rules shown on the board; internet matchmaking is not available.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
