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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.

Bring this focus to a round

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.

The challenge in front of you

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.

Follow these playing steps

  1. Roll six to leave the yard.
  2. Move an eligible token by the die value; home requires an exact roll.
  3. Capture opponents on non-safe squares.
  4. Six, capture and finishing a token grant another roll; a third consecutive six forfeits that roll.

Making selections and moves

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Work through an 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.

One detail worth checking

Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
