Ludo is played by two to four players, each controlling four tokens that start in a designated area. The goal is to move these tokens around the board and into a home zone. 

​

Players take turns rolling a single dice, and a roll of six allows a token to leave its start or grants an extra turn. Movement follows a set path, and only one token occupies each space at a time.

​

If a player’s token lands on an opponent’s token, the opponent’s token is sent back to its starting area. Tokens must complete a full circuit of the board before entering the home zone, and moving into home requires an exact dice roll.

​

The first player to place all four tokens in their home zone is declared the winner, ending the game immediately.
