Ludo: a guide for your next round
Open Ludo, check the instructions and begin a round. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Look at what changes after your first action. 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.
An idea for your next attempt
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
The goal to keep in mind
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.
Making your moves
- 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 interact with the game
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Try this 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. Check the stated objective.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
