The Ludo playbook
Ludo gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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.
A small practice goal
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What counts as success
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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.
Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.
Work through an example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
Check this before moving on
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
