How to play Ludo
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Ludo. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
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
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What the game asks you to do
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
An important reminder
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
