How to play 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. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. 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.

Read before acting

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.

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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

A useful example

A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
