Ludo: instructions and practice

Choose a round of Ludo and settle into its rules. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

What counts as success

Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.

Making your moves

  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.

The controls to know

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.

Learn from a sample situation

A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.

An important reminder

Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
