Follow the steps for Ludo
Read the aim of Ludo, then make your first move. 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. 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.
Something to practise
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.
What you are aiming for
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Follow the example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
