Ludo Minigame

2 - 4 Players

OBJECTIVE

Be the first player to move all four of your tokens from your starting area to the center of the board (HOME).

SETUP

1. 
   Each player chooses a color
   
   
2. 
   Decide who goes first (usually youngest player starts)

GAME PLAY

Basic Movement

• 
  Players take turns rolling the die
• 
  To enter a token onto the main track, you must roll a 1 or 6
• 
  Once on the track, move tokens clockwise around the board according to the number rolled

Special Rolls

• 
  Rolling a 6: You get an extra turn after moving
• 
  Rolling three 6s in a row: Your turn ends and your most advanced token returns to start

Capturing/Knocking Out

• 
  If you land on a space occupied by an opponent's token, the opponent's token returns to their starting area and you can roll the dice again
• 
  You cannot capture tokens in SAFE ZONES (marked with crying obsidian)
• 
  You cannot capture tokens that are together (two tokens on same space form a block)

Safe Zones

• 
  Crying obsidian
• 
  Central safe spaces are safe for all players

Home Column

• 
  The colored path leading to the center is your HOME COLUMN
• 
  Once entered, tokens can only move forward toward HOME
• 
  You must roll the exact number needed to reach the center HOME space

WINNING

• 
  The first player to get all four tokens into the center HOME space wins
• 
  Some variations require you to roll the exact number to enter home

STRATEGY TIPS

• 
  Spread your tokens around the board to increase mobility
• 
  Use blocks (two tokens together) to protect against captures
• 
  Time your captures to set opponents back
• 
  Balance moving advanced tokens with bringing new tokens out

COMMON VARIATIONS

• 
  Quick Ludo: Start with all tokens already on the track
• 
  Team Play: 2-vs-2 where partners sit opposite each other
• 
  Exact Count: Must roll exact number to get home (standard rule)
