THE PLAYBOOK · SZQILUFENG
Making your first moves in Ludo
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Ludo. Bring all four tokens home before the other players. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. 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.
Something to practise
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.
What the game asks you to do
Bring all four tokens home before the other players. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Follow these playing steps
- Roll six to leave the yard.
- Move an eligible token by the die value; home requires an exact roll.
- Capture opponents on non-safe squares.
- Six, capture and finishing a token grant another roll; a third consecutive six forfeits that roll.
Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
Learn from a sample situation
A token two steps from home cannot use a three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
A common point of confusion
Safe squares cannot capture; blockades are not part of this edition. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
