Ludo

How to play

1. Pick 2, 3 or 4 players and type names if you like. Any seat can be the computer: choose how it plays, Easy, Medium or Hard.
2. Tap the dice to roll. You need a 6 to bring a token out of your yard.
3. Tap a glowing token to move it. If only one token can move, it moves by itself.
4. Land on another player's token to send it back to its yard, except on stars and start squares, which are safe.
5. Rolling a 6, capturing, or getting a token home gives you another roll. Three 6s in a row ends your turn.
6. Reach the centre with the exact number. First to get all four tokens home wins.
7. House rules if you like: Quick Ludo (2 tokens each) and “Capture before home” (you can’t enter your home column until you have captured a token). At the end, see who rolled the most sixes and made the most captures.

What it teaches
