How to play Ludo

  1. Create a Ludo room and invite your group. In a two-player game the players use opposite colours. Everyone marks themselves ready before the host starts.
  2. Roll a six to bring a token out of the yard. On each turn, choose one of the highlighted legal moves. Tokens travel around the shared track before entering their own home lane.
  3. Land on a rival token to send it back to the yard, except on safe squares. Stars and starting squares are safe. Tokens can share a square; this version does not use blockades.
  4. A six, a capture or a token reaching home grants a bonus roll. Bonuses do not stack, and three consecutive sixes end the turn. You need the exact roll to finish a token. Bring all four home to win.

Tips for your first game

Think about both progress and safety. Moving the leading token is not always the best choice when another token can capture a rival or reach a safe star. Keep several tokens in play so that you have more options after each roll.

What to know before you start

Estimated game time is 20–40 minutes, depending on player count and dice rolls. Legal moves are highlighted, and the server handles rolls and turn order. Voice chat lets your table talk while you play. These are the house rules for this browser version; other Ludo versions may differ.

Create a room, share the invitation and wait for your guests. They only need a display name to join. Public waiting rooms may appear in the game's room directory; Draw & Guess and Word Impostor are invite-only by default unless the host enables listing.

Can I play Ludo alone or with friends on phones?

Both. Invite 2–4 players to the same room, or add practice bots. The browser board supports touch controls and a mobile layout without an app download.

Do I need an app or an account?

No. Open the room link in a modern browser on your phone or computer. The games are free to play without sign-up. Optional voice chat asks for microphone permission; you can keep playing without joining voice.
