How to play Ludo
Start Ludo by looking at the playing area and its controls. 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.
Review a difficult moment
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. 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. Start with a deliberate move.
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
