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. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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 focus for your next round
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How a round unfolds
- 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example before you play
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Where a round can go wrong
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
