Ludo: from controls to your first round
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Ludo. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the example below to understand a decision. Read the objective before making your first input. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Play with two or four people on the same device. Follow the house rules shown on the board; internet matchmaking is not available.
Give this approach a try
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
Aim for this result
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
From the start of a round
- 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 use the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
An example to follow
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
A useful caution
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
