Read before your next round of Ludo
Choose a round of Ludo and settle into its rules. 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. 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.
An idea for your next attempt
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The order of play
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
An example before you play
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Where a round can go wrong
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
