About the game
Play Ludo online for free, right in your phone or computer browser. The board is 3D, varnished wood, with lacquered pawns in four colors and a die that rolls, bounces and lands on the number.
Classic Ludo: everyone has 4 pawns at home, rolls the die and moves along the track. Only a 6 brings a pawn out, a 6 gives another roll and landing on an opponent captures it and sends it home. First to bring all 4 pawns to the center wins.

How to play
- Die: on your turn, tap the die (or Roll the die) and move one pawn that many squares.
- Leaving home: only with a 6. The pawn goes to your color's start square.
- Rolled a 6? Roll again. The third 6 in a row loses the turn.
- Capture: land on a square with another color's pawn and it goes back home; you roll again.
- Safe squares: the star squares and the start squares. Nobody is captured there.
- Finish: after the lap the pawn enters your color's column. Reaching the center needs the exact number, and it gives another roll.
Tips
- Rolled a 6 with a pawn already out? Bringing another one out often pays off: more pawns, more choices.
- Stay away from opponents up to 6 squares behind you.
- Use the stars: a safe square near opponents is a free move.
- Capturing almost always pays, especially a pawn that has gone far.
- Near the end, keep pawns in your color column: nobody can capture them there.
