Ludo

How to play Ludo

Each player has four tokens waiting in their coloured yard. Race all four once around the board, up your own coloured home column and into the centre triangle to win.

  • Roll a 6 to bring a token out onto your start square. A 6 also gives you another roll — but three 6s in a row forfeits the turn.
  • Tokens move clockwise by the number rolled. Landing on an opponent's token on a normal square captures it: it goes back to its yard and you get a bonus roll.
  • Squares with a ★ star and the coloured start squares are safe — nobody can be captured there.
  • Entering the centre needs an exact roll. Getting a token home also earns a bonus roll.
  • First player to bring all four tokens home wins.

Controls

Tap the die (or press Space) to roll, then tap a glowing token to move it (or press 1–4). If only one move is possible it is made automatically. Use New game to pick 2–4 players and set each seat to Human or Computer. Games are saved automatically so you can resume later.

Tips

Keep tokens on star squares when opponents are close behind, and don't rush one token alone — a spread-out army is harder to catch.
