A game can only be truly enjoyable and fair if it’s played according to the rules. So, let’s take a look at the basic rules of Ludo.

Ludo is a board game for 2-3-4 players, where each player is assigned four tokens of different colors. The objective is to move your tokens around the board and be the first to get all of them to your home area.

Here’s how to play:

Rolling the Dice: Players take turns rolling the dice. If you roll a 6 on your first turn, you earn a bonus roll and can either move a new token onto the board or, if you already have a token at the starting point, move it forward by six squares plus the number you roll on the second dice.

Safe Squares: If your token lands on a marked square (also known as a “safe spot”), it cannot be captured by an opponent. Keep this in mind when planning your moves to protect your tokens.

Moving Tokens: You can only move your token the exact number of squares shown on the dice roll. Plan your strategy carefully and move wisely.

Elimination: If an opponent’s token lands on your square, your token is sent back to the home base, and you have to start over. So, be cautious to avoid being eliminated!

Objective: The goal is to move all your tokens to your home column without getting eliminated by your opponents. The more you eliminate others’ tokens, the closer you get to victory.

Final Move: Once your token reaches its home column, you need to roll the exact number needed to reach the home area and score it to win the game.

Remember, the fun of Ludo comes from the mix of strategy, luck, and taking chances when the opportunity arises!
