A practical guide to Ludo
Open Ludo, check the instructions and begin a round. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
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.
Aim for this result
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A closer look at one example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
An important reminder
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
