About Ludo King - Play Online for Free! | Poki

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.

How do you move tokens in Ludo King?
Click or tap to roll the dice, then click or tap one of your four tokens to move it that many spaces. You need to roll a six to bring a token out of base for the first time.
What happens if I land on an opponent's token?
It gets sent back to that player's base, losing all the progress it had made — unless it was sitting on one of the star-marked safe spaces.
Do I need a keyboard to play?
No, the whole game is controlled with mouse clicks or touchscreen taps.
How do I win?
Get all four of your tokens from your base, around the board, and into the center home space before any other player does.
