LUDO WITH A TWIST

Play Ludo: Every capture is a duel.

The twist

It's the Ludo you grew up with. But land on a rival's pawn and the two of you play one 10-second mini-game duel for the square.

How a capture works

  1. Land on a rival

    Your roll puts you on their square. In plain Ludo that's the end of it. Here it's the start.

  2. Ten seconds, one duel

    One of eight mini-games starts, picked at random. You both play the same one, head to head.

  3. Winner keeps the square

    Win and their pawn goes home. Lose and yours does, even though you made the move.

The dice decide where you move. The duels decide who stays.

Eight duels

You never know which one is next. The game picks one at random on every capture, and never the same one twice in a row.

The duel deck: rules and all eight to play

Two boards

The four-sided Play Ludo board in 3D, mid-match, with a die on the green yard.
4 SIDE The classic board you grew up with. 2 to 4 players.
The round three-sided Play Ludo board in 3D, with red, blue and green yards.
3 SIDE Three sides, three colours. 2 or 3 players, so your turn comes round sooner.

Four ways to play

  • QUICK MATCH

    An online match, no room code needed.

  • PRIVATE ROOM

    Host a room and send the room code. Friends type it in and they're at your table.

  • VS COMPUTER

    You against one to three computer players. Easy, Normal or Hard. No connection needed.

  • PASS THE PHONE

    Two to four people, one phone. A duel between two of you goes split-screen, one half each.

Playing with friends? Set your own house rules, or switch the duels off and play it plain.

Stuck at home?

No pawn on the board yet? Tap OPEN A PAWN instead of rolling, and stop the needle in the green three times. The green gets smaller every time you hit it.

TRY IT

In the game a 1 or a 6 brings a pawn out too.
