Game guide · GDAIZHIBO

Learn your way around Ludo

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Ludo. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Play with two or four people on the same device. Follow the house rules shown on the board; internet matchmaking is not available.

A focus for your next round

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.

What counts as success

Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

How to proceed

  1. Roll six to leave the yard.
  2. Move an eligible token by the die value; home requires an exact roll.
  3. Capture opponents on non-safe squares.
  4. Six, capture and finishing a token grant another roll; a third consecutive six forfeits that roll.

The controls to know

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.

Follow the example

A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A common point of confusion

Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
