Ludo: learn through an example
Make Ludo your next activity in the game library. 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. 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.
Bring this focus to a round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Step by step
- 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.
The controls to know
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.
An example to follow
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
A mistake to avoid
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
