How to play Ludo

Choose a round of Ludo and settle into its rules. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Step by step

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.

Controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A useful example

A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
