Play Ludo with the rules at hand
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. 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.
Try a more deliberate round
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
The goal to keep in mind
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
The playing sequence
- 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.
The controls to know
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
See how the rules apply
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
Notice this detail
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.
