About Ludo
Generations of families have gathered around Ludo, the colorful race game that has long been a game-night staple, and here it plays right in your browser for up to four players. Each player has four tokens waiting in their corner, and the goal is to guide all of them around the board and into the home area in the center that matches your color.
The dice keep things unpredictable. You need to roll a six just to get a token out of the starting area, so the opening turns can be nail-biting. After that, it's about choosing which token to advance with each roll and when to play it safe. Games are lighthearted and easy for all ages to follow, which makes this a fun choice for playing with friends and family, or for a casual match whenever you have a few spare minutes.
How to play Ludo
- Click or tap the dice to roll on your turn.
- Roll a six to bring a token out of your starting area and onto the board.
- Move a token forward by the number you roll, choosing which token to move when you have options.
- Guide all four tokens around the board and into the home area of your color in the center.

Tips and tricks
- Use sixes to get several tokens onto the board early, so you have more choices on later rolls.
- Don't leave one token far behind; you need all four home to win.
- When a roll can't help a token that's close to home, use it to move another token along instead of wasting the turn.
- Watch opponents' tokens behind you and avoid stopping just in front of them when you have another option.
