The goal of Ludo is to move your 4 pieces from your yard to the finishing square going across all the board before the opponents.
- This mode is played in pairs (4 players) and with 2 dice.
- The first team to bring all of its pieces to the home square wins.
How to play Ludo
In their turn, each player rolls 2 dice and may move 2 different pieces if they want to.
- All players start with a piece at stake.
- You must enter a piece into play if you roll a or if the dice add up to (for example, +
).
- If you get and , you can take two pieces out in the same turn.
- You can’t enter a piece into play if you already have 2 pieces on the start square.
- If the player rolls a double (same number on both dice) they will repeat the turn.
- If the player rolls 3 consecutive doubles, they will be penalized by sending the last piece moved back to the yard. This does not apply if that piece is in the home row (before the finishing square).
Barriers or blockades
When two pieces of the same color are on the same square, they form a blockade which prevents any piece from passing.
- On rolling a double, the player is forced to open the blockade. Besides, they can't make it up again during that turn with the same pieces.
- It is not considered a blockade when 2 pieces of different colors coincide (this can happen on the “safe squares”) so other pieces can pass with no problem, but it can't be on that square.
Entering a piece into play takes priority over breaking a block.
Capture pieces
A player can capture a piece of another color by landing on the same space. The captured piece returns to its yard and must start over.
- The player who captures a piece must move 20 squares with any of their pieces whenever it's possible.
- Pieces cannot be captured in the safe squares (the colored squares).
- If the start square is occupied by two pieces and at least one of them is not your color, you may capture the last piece that arrived on that square when entering a piece into play.
You are allowed to capture your partner's pieces.
Reaching the Home Square
When a piece has traveled all the way around the Ludo board, it may enter the home square.
- For each piece that reaches the home square, the player must move another piece 10 spaces if possible.
- The player must roll the exact number on the dice.
- If a player already has all their pieces in the home square, they may play with their partner’s pieces.
