Game guide · DIAOYULEQU

Find your footing in Ludo

Open Ludo, check the instructions and begin a round. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the example below to understand a decision. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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

Take a closer look while playing

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.

Aim for this result

Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Input guidance

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. Look at the feedback after the action.

Try this example

A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.

A common point of confusion

Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
