How to play Ludo
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Ludo. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Begin with the local players mode shown on the page. 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.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
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. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
