How to Play Ludo Race
Ludo is a classic board game for 2-4 players. Roll the dice, move your tokens around the board, capture opponents, and be the first to get all your tokens home!
Create or Join a Room
Create a new room and choose Standard (4 tokens) or Quick (2 tokens) mode, or join an existing room from the room list.
Choose Your Color
Each player is assigned a unique color: Red, Green, Yellow, or Blue. Colors are assigned automatically when the host starts the game.
Roll the Dice
On your turn, tap the dice to roll. You need a 6 to bring a token out of your base. Rolling a 6 also gives you an extra turn!
Move Your Tokens
After rolling, move a token forward by the number of spaces shown on the dice. If you have multiple movable tokens, tap the one you want to move.
Capture Opponents
Land on an opponent's token to send it back to their base. But watch out — tokens on safe cells (marked with stars) cannot be captured!
Get All Tokens Home
Navigate your tokens around the board and into your home column. The first player to get all required tokens home wins! (Standard: 4 tokens, Quick: 2 tokens)
Tips & Strategy
- 💡Spread your tokens early — having multiple tokens on the board gives you more options on every roll.
- 💡Use safe cells (star cells) as rest stops when opponents are nearby.
- 💡Capture opponents when possible — sending them back to base costs them several turns.
- 💡Prioritize moving tokens that are close to your home column to secure them.
- 💡Rolling a 6 gives an extra turn — decide wisely between bringing out a new token or advancing an existing one.
