Ludo: what to know before playing
Try Ludo at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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.
Try a more deliberate round
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
Making selections and moves
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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
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. Keep the controls nearby.
Notice this detail
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
