THE PLAYBOOK · ZRZCH
Getting started with Ludo
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Ludo. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the example below to understand a decision. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. 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.
One thing to notice as you play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
Start here and follow along
- 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 your actions work
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A closer look at one example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
