THE PLAYBOOK · DAIKUANZ
Making your first moves in Ludo
Read the aim of Ludo, then make your first move. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Play with two or four people on the same device. Follow the house rules shown on the board; internet matchmaking is not available.
Try a more deliberate round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
The challenge in front of you
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. The feedback beside the game helps you follow 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Follow the example
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
One detail worth checking
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
