Know the goal in Ludo
Ludo gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
How to proceed
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
A common point of confusion
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
