Know the goal in Ludo
Ludo gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Look at what changes after your first action. 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.
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. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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 interact with the game
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Check this before moving on
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
