Rules to Play Ludo Online

Ludo is generally played between two to four players, sitting opposite each other, in a clockwise direction. Each player gets four of the same colour tokens, which are placed in their home square on the ludo board. Every player rolls dice and moves the tokens as per the exact roll towards the player's home column squares. Take a look at the top online Ludo rules every player must know to enjoy the game to the fullest:

Ludo on MPL can be played with two to four players. Each player is assigned a specific colour (red, blue, green & yellow) at the start.

Every player starts the game with four tokens in the starting position. The first player to eject all their tokens from the starting square and successfully navigate them around the board towards the end zone in the home column is declared the winner.

Navigation of tokens around the board is done corresponding to the score the player rolls on his dice at every turn. For example, a score of three on the dice means the player can move the token up by three places on the board.

A score of 6 or 1 is required to release a token from the starting area. Until the player gets their first 6 or 1, they can't place the tokens on their respective starting squares since no tokens will be available to move. After the first token is released, every 6 or 1 the player scores will give a player the option to either place a new token at the starting square or move the existing tokens on the board.

In online Ludo, a player is rewarded an additional bonus roll every time they score a 6. However, if the player scores 6 even on the third roll, their turn immediately passes to the next player as it is forfeited.

If a player's piece lands in the same space or same square occupied by a different coloured token, the opponent's piece gets eliminated from the route and is hauled back into its home area. To bring the different coloured token out of the home area, the player must again release it to the starting point by scoring a 6 or 1. If a player's piece lands on an opponent’s piece, they are awarded a bonus roll for that turn.

The ludo board game also features safe squares in each quadrant, normally the fourth square from the top in the rightmost column and the home column of each coloured token. Tokens can be eliminated by players anywhere on the board except in these safe zones and when the token has reached its coloured area. There are eight spaces marked with a ‘⚡’ symbol of safe squares, also called the globe spaces. In every safe square, one or more tokens of different colours can be occupied at any given time.
