Ludo: what to know before playing
Open Ludo, check the instructions and begin a round. 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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
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
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you are aiming for
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
How to use the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
Follow the example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
One detail worth checking
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
