The Ludo playbook

Make Ludo your next activity in the game library. 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Play with two or four people on the same device. Follow the house rules shown on the board; internet matchmaking is not available.

Give this approach a try

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The goal to keep in mind

Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

How to proceed

  1. Roll six to leave the yard.
  2. Move an eligible token by the die value; home requires an exact roll.
  3. Capture opponents on non-safe squares.
  4. Six, capture and finishing a token grant another roll; a third consecutive six forfeits that roll.

Input guidance

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

An example before you play

A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.

A useful caution

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. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
