Learn your way around Ludo

Try Ludo at your own pace and keep its objective in view. 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. 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.

Build familiarity through play

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

The challenge in front of you

Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

A walkthrough of the rules

  1. Roll six to leave the yard.
  2. Move an eligible token by the die value; home requires an exact roll.
  3. Capture opponents on non-safe squares.
  4. 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

See the idea in action

A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.

Where a round can go wrong

Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
