Game guide · PYZSB
Learn your way around Ludo
Ludo gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.
Build familiarity through play
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What the game asks you to do
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
How your actions work
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful 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.
Where a round can go wrong
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
