Ludo: instructions and practice
Try Ludo at your own pace and keep its objective in view. 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. 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.
Bring this focus to a round
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.
The objective of a round
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Start here and follow along
- 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. Check any mode label before starting.
Try this example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Check this before moving on
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
