THE PLAYBOOK · YSXBH
Learn your way around Ludo
Start Ludo by looking at the playing area and its controls. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. 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.
Something to practise
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your objective
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A closer look at one example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
Check this before moving on
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
