Find your footing in Ludo
Take a moment with Ludo before moving to another game. 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.
Build familiarity through play
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The order of play
- 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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Put the rules into context
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
An important reminder
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
