Why play Ludo here?

Two real boards on one page: classic Ludo with safe stars, and Chinese aeroplane chess with jumps, flights and blocking stacks. Every roll comes from one sequence fixed at the start that the computers cannot see, and the end-of-game table shows what everyone rolled. No ads, no coins, no boosters — mix computers at four levels with friends on the same screen.

How You WinGet all four of your tokens to the centre. The first player home wins, and the rest play on for second and third.

Board
52-square loop, 5-square home lane
Players
2–4, four tokens each

How to play Ludo in one minute

  1. Set up the table: classic Ludo or Chinese aeroplane chess, two to four players, and for each seat either a computer or a person sharing this screen.
  2. Roll a 6 to bring a token out of your yard onto your start square. Every 6 earns another roll, but a third 6 in a row is void and ends your turn.
  3. Move one token the number you rolled, clockwise round the track. Landing on a lone rival token sends it back to its yard and earns you another roll — except on the eight safe squares: the four start squares and the four stars.
  4. Two or more of your tokens on one square make a stack. In classic Ludo a stack cannot be captured, and it does not block anyone.
  5. After a full lap, turn into your coloured home column. The centre needs the exact number and earns another roll. The first player with all four tokens home wins; the others play on for the places.

On the aeroplane chess board the race has three twists: land on a square of your own colour and you jump to the next one; stop at the start of the dashed line and you fly straight across the board; and a stack of your planes blocks rivals, while one that lands exactly on it takes the whole stack home with it. There, sixes are never void, captures earn no extra roll, and an overshoot at the finish bounces back.

Playing Ludo here: common questions

Is Ludo here free, and do I need to download anything?

It is free, with no download, no account and no ads. It runs in any phone or desktop browser, the computer players run on your own device, and an unfinished game picks up where you left it when you come back in the same browser.

Can I play Ludo against the computer?

Yes. Any seat can be a computer, so you can play one against three or one against one. There are four levels: Beginner picks a legal move at random, Casual takes the move that looks best right now, Hard also counts which tokens could be hit on the next roll, and Expert presses rivals harder and, on the classic board, values the safe squares. All computer seats play at the level you choose.

Can friends or family play on one device?

Yes. Set two to four seats to people and take turns on the same screen; computers can fill any seat that is left, so three friends and one computer works too. There are no online rooms — everyone plays on this device.

Are the dice fair?

Every roll in a game comes from one random sequence, fixed when the game starts and shared by all seats. The computer players never see it: like you, they choose a move only after the die has landed. Undo takes back a move, not a roll — the die comes back with the same number. When the game ends, a table shows how many of each number every player rolled.

What is aeroplane chess, and can I play it here?

Aeroplane chess (飞行棋) is China's version of the same race — four planes and a 6 to take off — with jumps between squares of your colour, a dashed flight line across the board, and stacks that block. Choose it under Rules; it has its own board and its own rules, not Ludo with new pictures.

Can I undo a move or get a hint?

Undo goes back to your last real choice; moves the roll forced on you are skipped. Master Hint marks the token the Expert computer would move and traces the path it will take.
