Find your footing in Ludo
Choose a round of Ludo and settle into its rules. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Play with two or four people on the same device. Follow the house rules shown on the board; internet matchmaking is not available.
Practice with a purpose
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The steps to play
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A closer look at one example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
A useful caution
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
