An introduction to playing Ludo
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Ludo. 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.
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. Make the next step deliberately.
What counts as success
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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.
How to interact with the game
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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
See the idea in action
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Keep this in mind
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.
