Ludo: learn through an example
Make Ludo your next activity in the game library. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.
Aim for this result
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Using the playing area
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Learn from a sample situation
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Notice this detail
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.
