How to play Ludo
Each player has glossy buddies waiting in a base in one corner of the board. The goal is to get all of your buddies once around the board and into the centre before anyone else does.
- Roll with the button or the Space bar on your turn. If you wait 30 seconds the game rolls for you.
- A 6 brings a buddy out of your base onto your start square, and rolling a 6 also gives you another throw.
- If every buddy you have is in the base, you get three tries to roll a 6.
- Click a glowing buddy to move it that many squares (or press 1 to 4). If two of your buddies share a square they stack into one with a ×2, ×3 or ×4 badge.
- Land on a square with another player's buddy and it is sent straight back to its base, and you get another throw.
- After one full lap your buddy turns up its own colour lane towards the centre. You need the exact roll to finish.
- The first player to bring all their buddies home wins.
Three ways to play Ludo
| Mode | Buddies | About | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | 4 each | ~40 min | The traditional game. Roll a 6 to leave the base. |
| Fast | 2 each | ~15 min | One buddy starts on the board, a 1 or a 6 lets another out, 15-second turns. |
| Special | 3 each | ~25 min | Like Fast, with glowing tiles on the track that change every 3 rounds. |

- 🛡️ Shield: nobody can send you home until you move again.

- 🪿 Slippery bubble: slide back 4 squares.
- ❓ Mystery bubble: a random one of the above.
Play Ludo online with friends
Public lobbies appear in everyone's Join Lobby list. A private lobby is hidden and gives you a 5-letter code to share, so only your friends can join. Up to four people can play, and computer players fill the rest. You can also send quick smileys (smile, wink, cool, heart, angry and crying) and give a friend's window a playful nudge.
