Overview

Pocket Ludo is a one or two player strategy board game based on an ancient Indian game of dice. Use a combination of strategy and luck to get all your tokens home before your opponent does. Along the way, trap your opponent's tokens and try to send them back to the start box before your opponent does the same to you.

Features
Rules

Your aim is to move your tokens out of the start box, around the board and into the home triangle.
You play red and yellow tokens and your opponent plays blue and green.
On your turn, roll the dice and move a token of your choice as many spaces as the number on the dice.
Roll a six and you may roll again on the same turn.
Roll three sixes in a row and you lose your turn.
A token needs a six to leave the start box.
If a token lands on a white square occupied by an opponent token, the opponent token is "eaten" and sent back to its start box.
A token may not land on, or pass, a white square with more than one opponent token on it.
Tokens on safe (non-white) squares cannot be eaten, nor can they block opponent tokens.
Two tokens may be moved as a pair on even rolls of the dice.
All opponent tokens on a white square that a pair of tokens lands on are eaten.
Tokens moved as a pair are never blocked.


Tips

Use the Short Game option to play with only one color instead of two.
Turn off the quick start option to start each game with all tokens inside the start box.
You must reach the home triangle with an exact roll.
If only one possible move exists, it will automatically be played for you.
If you have more than one die to play you may play any die first by tapping each to select it.
If no token can be moved, play automatically proceeds to the next player.
