Leave the yard, then keep your options open
A token enters the shared track only after a six. Releasing more than one token gives you more legal moves and makes a single capture less damaging.
Classic race game for two to four players
Play Ludo online, together
Roll, race, capture, and bring all four tokens home. Practise against bots or open a private room and keep everyone beside the same board with optional video chat.
A simple race with meaningful choices
Every roll creates a decision: release a new token, protect an advanced token, capture a rival, build a blockade, or move closer to home.
Capture outside safe spaces
Land on one vulnerable rival token to send it back to its coloured yard.
Finish all four exactly
Guide every token through your home path. The final move needs the exact die value.
The board shows what can happen next
Roll first, then choose from the legal tokens the game highlights. Paths, captures, safe zones, and the next turn are handled automatically.
Start with the die
A six may release a token and gives another roll. Three consecutive sixes end the turn, so a strong result still carries a limit.
Move the token that improves the whole position
Advance on the track, leave the yard, enter the home path, or take a capture. The furthest token is not always the strongest choice.
Let the landing change the board
Safe spaces protect tokens. Two matching opponent tokens form a blockade. Exact finishes, extra turns, and captures resolve without manual counting.
Turn random rolls into a deliberate race
Luck chooses the number. Strategy decides which token receives it and what choices remain on your next turn.
Keep more than one route alive
Release a second token before relying entirely on one leader. Multiple active tokens reduce dead rolls and make captures less costly.
Use safety and blockades with purpose
Pause on protected spaces when a rival is close. Stack two of your tokens to control a path, but remember that the stack also concentrates your options.
Secure exact home moves when they appear
A token on the shared track remains exposed. Move into the coloured home path whenever the exact count is available and protect completed progress.
