Learn the rules of Ludo
Read the aim of Ludo, then make your first move. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. 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.
Give this approach a try
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you are aiming for
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
A closer look at one example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Check this before moving on
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
