What is Ludo?
Ludo is a race game on a cross-shaped board. Each player has a colour, a yard with tokens and a home column leading to the centre.
Roll a six to bring a token out, move round the track and land on rivals to send them back. The first to bring every token home wins.

Ludo rules
- 1The die is rolled on the server for every player, bots included, and every roll is listed in the roll history.
- 2Roll a 6 to bring a token out of the yard onto your start square.
- 3A 6 earns another roll. Three 6s in a row lose the turn.
- 4Land on an opponent to send their token back to the yard.
- 5Start squares and star squares are safe: nobody can be captured there.
- 6You need the exact number to reach home.
- 7The first player to bring every token home wins; the others are ranked by progress.
- 8Quick mode plays with two tokens each, classic with four.
- 9One turn timer covers your roll and your move, and a bonus roll after a 6 gets a fresh one. When it runs out, the server rolls and moves for you and the turn passes.
