Follow the steps for Ludo
Take a moment with Ludo before moving to another game. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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.
A focus for your next round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
How to use the controls
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A closer look at one example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
Pay attention to this rule
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
