    How to play Ludo

    Ludo is a classic race game for two to four players. Each player has four tokens that start in a yard, travel once around the board and finish in the centre. Roll a six to bring a token out, then move by whatever you roll.

    Land on an opponent to send that token back to its yard, and use the start and star squares to stay safe. Play against one to three computer opponents, or set Humans to 2, 3 or 4 to pass one device around with friends.

    Ludo rules

    • Roll a six to bring a token out of your yard onto your start square.
    • Tokens move clockwise by the number rolled, then up your home column.
    • Landing on an opponent's token sends it back to its yard.
    • Tokens on start squares and star squares are safe from capture.
    • A six, a capture or getting a token home earns another roll; three sixes in a row forfeit the turn.
    • A token needs an exact roll to reach home. The first player with all four tokens home wins.

    Ludo questions

    How do you get a token out in Ludo?

    Roll a six. The token moves from your yard to your start square, and you roll again.

    Can I play Ludo with friends on one phone?

    Yes. Set Humans to the number of people playing and pass the device after each turn. Any remaining seats are played by the computer.

    Which squares are safe in Ludo?

    The four coloured start squares and the four star squares. A token standing on one cannot be captured.
