Follow the steps for Ludo
Bring your attention to one round of Ludo. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Take a closer look while playing
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. Notice the feedback after each input.
The goal to keep in mind
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The order of play
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
Follow the example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
