About the game

Proper Ludo, the way we played it at home, minus the arguments about the rules. Roll a 6 to come out, land on someone to send them back, and get the exact roll to reach home. Stars and start squares are safe. Play against the Tiger, the Peacock, the Monkey and the Elephant, or pass one device around with 2 to 4 people. Any seat can be a computer player. Quick game gives everyone 2 tokens instead of 4 when you only have ten minutes. The computer only plays legal moves and takes a moment before each one. If that gets old, turn on fast computer turns in the pause menu. No sign-up and no online play. Open it and roll.

How to play

Tap the die or press Space/Enter to roll. Tap a glowing token to move it. On a keyboard, Tab or the arrow keys pick a token and Enter moves it. A 6, a capture or a token reaching home gives you another roll. Three 6s in a row and you lose the turn. Esc or P pauses, M mutes.
