Ludo: a guide for your next round
Ludo gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Play with two or four people on the same device. Follow the house rules shown on the board; internet matchmaking is not available.
Give this approach a try
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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.
How to interact with the game
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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
One way to understand the rules
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Check this before moving on
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
