Ludo: from controls to your first round
Make Ludo your next activity in the game library. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
The purpose of your moves
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
How to use the controls
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 the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Put the rules into context
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
