How to play Ludo
Ludo gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. 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.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- 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.
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. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
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. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
