Ludo is a game that can be enjoyed by both young and old. The rules are simple, making the
game entertaining and soothing to play. However, pay attention because one removed token
might change the game's outcome and elicit strong emotions!
LUDO GAME
GOAL
Be the first player to place all four of their colour pieces in the board's
"Finish" region.
RULES TO PLAY
There are four squares on the Ludo board.
Yellow, green, red, and blue are the most common colours. Each player is given a colour and
is given four tokens of that colour. The board is square with a cross-shaped play area, with
three columns of squares, usually six per column, on each arm of the cross.
The
five-coloured squares in the centre columns symbolize a player's home column. A player's
starting square is a sixth coloured square that is not in the home column. A large finishing
square in the centre of the board, sometimes made up of coloured triangles, is where the
players must collect all four tokens to complete the Ludo game.
If a player rolls a 6
on the dice, the game begins. If a player does not have any tokens in play and does not roll
a 6, their turn is passed to the next player. Once a player has one or more tickets in
space, he chooses one and moves forward the number of the box indicated by the dice along
the track.
The dice value rolled must always be used to move a token. There are no
passes authorized. If no move can be made, the turn is passed on to the next player. A
player also misses their next turn if they roll a "6" three times in a
row.
MOVEMENT RULES
Each token in the Ludo board game can be moved 1 to 6
positions clockwise, depending on the rolled number. If a player lands on an opponent's
token, the token is returned to the opponent's base. The only exception is when a player
lands on a particular location marked with a shield symbol, in which case his token is
regarded as "safe."
Also, in our online version of Ludo, if a player lands on the
spot with a die symbol, they get an extra die roll.
