Ludo — Rules
Goal
Move all 4 of your pieces from home around the board and into your coloured home column. The first player to get all four pieces home wins.
Setup
Each player has 4 pieces of one colour. All pieces begin in the home area and players take turns rolling one die.
Rolling a 6
Roll a 6 to bring a piece from home onto your starting square. After rolling a 6, roll again.
Moving
Choose one of your pieces in play and move it forward exactly the number of spaces shown on the die.
Capturing
If your piece lands on a square occupied by an opponent, that opponent's piece is sent back home and must enter the board again.
Your own pieces
You cannot capture your own piece. If a move would end on a square occupied by one of your own pieces, choose another legal move.
Home column
After travelling around the board, a piece enters the home column of its own colour. A piece must reach an available home space by exact count.
Winning
The first player to move all 4 pieces into the home column wins.
