Ludo: learn through an example
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. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Play with two or four people on the same device. Follow the house rules shown on the board; internet matchmaking is not available.
A focus for your next round
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Understand the aim
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
How to interact with the game
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
An example before you play
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
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. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
