Ludo

Roll the die, bring your tokens out with a six and race them around the board to your home. Play with friends online, or fill empty seats with computer players.

How to play

  • Enter a name and press Quick match, or Create a game to get a private link for friends.
  • As host, add computer players to empty seats, then press Start. Two to four players can play.
  • On your turn press Roll (or the Space key), then click a glowing token to move it.
  • If you do not play within 30 seconds, the game makes a move for you so nobody is kept waiting.

Scoring

Roll a 6 to bring a token out of your yard. Rolling a 6, capturing a token or reaching home gives you another roll, but three 6s in a row end your turn. Land on an opponent to send it back to its yard, except on the start squares and stars, which are safe. You need the exact number to reach home. The first player with all four tokens home wins.
