Ludo: a guide for your next round
Bring your attention to one round 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.
A focus for your next round
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.
Understand the aim
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The steps to 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Work through an example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
