Settle in for a game together

- Pick a colour. Player 1 is Red and rolls first; Player 2 is Blue.
- Roll dice. A six lets you bring a pawn onto its starting star.
- Choose a pawn. Tap a highlighted piece or its numbered button above the board. Follow the active player card when passing the device.
From the yard to the centre
A pawn needs a six to leave its yard. Once out, it moves clockwise by the full value of the die. A six grants another roll; the third consecutive six ends the turn without moving that roll. Earlier moves remain.
After a lap, your pawn enters its coloured home lane. You need an exact roll to reach the centre, and all four pawns must finish to win. If no pawn can move, the turn passes automatically, unless the roll was a six.
A star can change your plans
Landing on an opponent outside the eight star squares sends their pawn back to its yard. Stars are safe for both colours. Pawns can share a square and pass one another; this version has no blockades. Capturing or reaching home does not grant an extra roll. The complete house rules apply to every mode.
Make room for another round
Use a mouse, touch, or Tab with Enter/Space. Numbered pawn buttons remain available when pieces share a square. An unfinished local round is saved in this browser when storage is available. New round asks before replacing it.
For different screens, invite your friend. For a solo race, try Ludo against the computer. The online guide compares the modes.
