Ludo King
The classic Ludo board game, reimagined for digital play. Race your tokens home in this family-friendly multiplayer game with hundreds of millions of players.
About This Game
Ludo King is the most popular digital version of Ludo, the classic race-to-home board game that has entertained families for generations. The rules are simple: roll the dice, move your four tokens around the board, and try to get all of them to the home column before your opponents do. Landing on an opponent's token sends it back to start, adding strategic tension to the dice-rolling.
The app has been downloaded over 500 million times, making it one of the most popular board games on mobile. It supports local play on a single device, online play against friends, and matchmaking against random opponents. The game also includes additional modes like Snakes & Ladders for variety.
Ludo King's appeal lies in its universal accessibility. The rules are known worldwide, the games are quick (15-30 minutes), and the mix of strategy and luck means anyone can win on a given day. It is the perfect game for families with young children, casual game nights, and situations where you need a game everyone already knows how to play.
How to Play
Choose your color
Each player picks a color and starts with four tokens in their base.
Roll a 6 to enter the board
Roll the dice. You need a 6 to move a token out of the base and onto the board.
Move tokens around the board
Roll the dice and move one token forward by the number shown. Strategic choices arise when multiple tokens are in play.
Capture opponents
Landing on an opponent's token sends it back to their base. Safe zones protect tokens from capture.
Race all tokens home
Navigate all four tokens around the board and into your home column. First player to get all four home wins.
Tips & Strategy
- Spread your tokens across the board rather than focusing on one — it gives you more options each roll.
- Use safe zones strategically, especially when an opponent is close behind.
- Prioritize capturing opponents when the opportunity arises — setting them back gives you a significant advantage.
- A 6 gives you an extra roll — use it wisely to either enter new tokens or advance existing ones.
