LUDO WITH A TWIST

Play Ludo: Every capture is a duel.

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.

YOUR TURN

Tap the DICE to roll

A Play Ludo match in progress: four players' pawns on the classic board, a die on the green yard, and a YOUR TURN tag over the green player's name.

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.
The round three-sided Play Ludo board in 3D, with red, blue and green yards.

The classic board you grew up with. 2 to 4 players.

Three sides, three colours. 2 or 3 players, so your turn comes round sooner.

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.
