How to play Ludo
Ludo gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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. 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.
Try a more deliberate round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
The challenge in front of you
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Put the rules into context
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
An important reminder
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
