🎲 Games
Classic local multiplayer Ludo for 2–4 players with a rolling 3D dice, animated tokens, captures, and safe zones. Play pass-and-play or against the computer — right in your browser.
Roll: –
Roll a 6 to move a token out of its yard onto the coloured start. Race all four tokens clockwise around the ring and up your coloured lane to the centre. Land exactly on an opponent to send it home — but they are safe on ★ cells. Rolling a 6, capturing, or finishing a token earns an extra roll. First to bring all four tokens home wins.
The whole game runs in your browser. Your progress is saved only in local storage — nothing is uploaded to any server.
Roll a 6. Any token still in the yard can then move onto its coloured start cell.
Yes. Tick "CPU opponents" before starting and every player except Red will be played by the computer.
Landing exactly on a cell occupied by an opponent sends their token back to the yard — unless the cell is a ★ safe cell.
After rolling a 6, capturing an opponent, or bringing a token home.
Yes, locally in your browser, so you can refresh and continue.
Yes — use the "3D" button to switch between the tilted 3D view and a flat top-down board.
Each player has four tokens waiting in their yard. The aim is to bring all four around the board and home before anyone else. The rules are simple enough to learn in a minute, which is why the game has survived for centuries.
Ludo is mostly luck, but not entirely — every roll gives you a choice of which token to move, and that choice is where games are won.
Keeping all four bunched together means one bad roll ruins everything. Spread out and you always have a useful move available.
Before moving, look at where opponents sit. A token six or fewer squares behind an enemy is in immediate danger.
Sending an opponent home costs them their whole journey. It is almost always worth more than moving a few squares forward.
A token close to home is safe from most captures. Use spare rolls on exposed tokens instead.
The game supports two, three or four players on the same device, taking turns. The player count changes the feel of the game more than people expect:
Ludo is a simplified descendant of Pachisi, an Indian cross-and-circle game documented since at least the sixteenth century and probably far older. Pachisi was played on cloth with cowrie shells for dice, and the Mughal emperors are said to have played it on life-sized courts using people as pieces.
The version most of the world knows was patented in England in 1896 under the name Ludo, the Latin for "I play", with dice replacing the shells. The same game travels under many names — Parcheesi in the United States, Mensch ärgere Dich nicht in Germany, Parqués in Colombia — and remains one of the most widely played board games in the world.
Two, three or four, all on the same device taking turns. Four is the traditional game; two is the most tactical because there are fewer tokens on the board and captures become deliberate rather than accidental.
Roll a six. A token can only leave its yard on a six, which is why the opening can feel slow. Rolling a six also earns you another roll, so a good opening often releases two tokens at once.
Their token is sent back to its yard and has to roll a six to start again. Capturing costs an opponent their entire journey so far, which is usually worth far more than the squares you would have gained by moving elsewhere.
Marked squares where a token cannot be captured. Parking on one is the safest way to hold position when you have no good move, particularly when an opponent is close behind.
Yes. You cannot overshoot the home square, so the last few steps often need a specific number. That is why games so often end with a token stuck one or two squares short.
Mostly luck, but not entirely. The dice are out of your control, but every roll gives you a choice of which token to move, and that choice decides most close games. Spreading tokens out and prioritising captures are the two decisions that matter most.
Spread your tokens rather than bunching them, so a bad roll never leaves you without a useful move. Check which opponents are within six squares before committing. Take a capture when one is available. And do not waste rolls pushing a token that is already nearly home.
It is what keeps the game moving. Without it, players who could not roll a six would sit out entirely. The extra roll rewards the same number that releases tokens, so a six is always good news twice over.
This version is designed for people playing together on one device. For a game against a computer opponent, try Tic Tac Toe, where the hardest setting has solved the game completely.
It is a simplified descendant of Pachisi, an Indian cross-and-circle game documented since at least the sixteenth century and played on cloth with cowrie shells instead of dice. The modern version was patented in England in 1896 as Ludo, Latin for "I play".
They are close relatives rather than the same game. Parcheesi in the United States, Mensch argere Dich nicht in Germany and Parques in Colombia are all descendants of Pachisi, each with small rule differences around safe squares and capturing.
Yes. The board scales to the screen and the tokens stay large enough to tap accurately. Passing one phone around is the natural way to play a turn-based game like this.
