Read before your next round of Ludo
Take a moment with Ludo before moving to another game. 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.

Understand the aim
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The steps to 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
