Rules Ludo

Ludo (Latin: "I play") is a board game for two to four players, in which the players race their four pawns from start to finish according to a die. At the start of the game, the player's four pieces are placed in the start area of their colour.

Players start their turn by throwing a single die. A player must first throw a six to be able to move a piece from the starting area onto the starting square. In each subsequent turn the player moves a piece forward 1 to 6 squares as indicated by the die. When a player throws a 6 the player may bring a new piece onto the starting square, or may choose to move a piece already in play. Any throw of a six results in another turn for the same player. If a player cannot make a valid move they must pass the die to the next player. If a player's piece lands on a square containing an opponent's piece, the opponent's piece is captured and returns to the staring area. A piece may not land on square that already contain a piece of the same colour. Once a piece has completed a circuit of the board it moves up the home column of its own colour (marked as I-IV). The player must throw the exact number to advance to the home square.

The winner is the first player to get all four of their pieces onto the home square.
