Ludo King is a digital version of the classic four-player race game Ludo, built by Gametion and rooted in the older Indian board game Pachisi. Each player controls four tokens that start locked in a home base and race them around a shared path, aiming to get all four into the center before anyone else does.
Rolling a six lets you bring a token out of base, and moving any token the exact number of spaces your roll shows is the only way to advance. Land on a space an opponent's token already occupies and you send it straight back to their base; the star-marked safe spaces are the only spots your own tokens can't be captured that way. With four tokens to choose from every turn, the real decisions are about which one to move, not the roll itself.
Controls
- Click or tap to roll the dice
- Click or tap the token you want to move with that roll
Tips
- Get a token out of base as soon as you roll a six instead of saving it — a token still in base can't score progress or threaten anyone
- Park tokens on star-marked safe spaces when you're not actively pushing for home, so a bad roll from an opponent can't send them back to base
- Chasing down an opponent's token is often worth more than rushing your own piece home, since sending them back costs them several turns of progress
Rounds are quick rather than one long session — once all four players are moving, a full race to home usually plays out in a handful of minutes.
