The goal of Ludo is to get all 4 of your pieces from your yard to home by moving them all the way around the board before your opponents do.
- This mode is played in pairs (4 players) and with 2 dice.
- The first team to bring all its pieces home 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 5 (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 stretch (the final path before home).
Barriers or blockades
When 2 pieces of the same color are on the same space, they form a blockade that 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 are on the same space (this can happen on safe squares), so other pieces can pass through freely but cannot land on that space.
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 any one of their pieces in play 20 spaces whenever possible.
- Pieces cannot be captured on safe squares (spaces that are colored or marked with a circle).
- If the start space is occupied by 2 pieces and at least one is a different color, you can capture one of them when bringing a piece out. If both can be captured, the piece that arrived there last is captured first.
You are allowed to capture your partner's pieces.
Getting Home
When a piece has traveled all the way around the Ludo board, it can move into home.
- For each piece that reaches home, 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 home, they may play with their partner’s pieces.
