An introduction to playing Ludo
Open Ludo, check the instructions and begin a round. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the example below to understand a decision. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. 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
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example before you play
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
A common point of confusion
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
