Follow the steps for Ludo
Try Ludo at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. 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.
One thing to notice as you play
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
The controls to know
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
