Open Naija TableHow to play Ludo
- Start. Each player has four pieces in their yard. Roll a six to bring a piece out onto its start square.
- Move. Move a piece forward by the number you roll. A six gives you another roll, but three sixes in a row and you lose the third roll.
- Capture. Land on an opponent's piece and you send it back to its yard. Capturing earns you an extra roll.
- Stay safe. The start squares and the marked refuge squares are safe: nobody can be captured there.
- Go home. After a lap of the board, your pieces go up your own home lane. You need the exact roll to finish, and getting a piece home earns another roll. Get all four home first to win.
One die or two
Play the classic way with one die, or roll two dice and split them: use one die on one piece and the other on another, or both on the same piece.
Your house rules
Before the game, the host can choose to come out on a one instead of a six, switch the capture and home bonuses or the three-sixes rule on or off, and set a turn timer.
