In Ludo, the goal is to get all four checker pieces around the board and back to their home color. Players can compete against 3 computer opponents, or play with a mix of computers and friends.

Once the game begins, players take turns rolling the die. A six must be rolled to move a piece out of the starting box. When there's only one piece to move, the freed piece will move automatically. From then on, every six that's rolled allows the player to either move a new piece onto the board or move one that's already in play. Players also get a free roll after rolling a six. Once multiple pieces are on the board, players can choose which piece to move after rolling the die.

Pieces are safe once they land in the center of the arrow. Landing on an opponent's piece knocks it back to start and grants another free roll. The starred and colored tiles are all safe spaces. Players should try to keep their pieces on these spaces to avoid getting knocked back by opponents!
