Ludo
Aim of the game
Get your 4 pieces as fast as possible away from your home zone and seek shelter in the goal zone. The special fun factor is that en route one's pieces can be thrown out by one's fellow players resp. one of course can throw out the pieces of the fellow players as well.
Kicking off
Choose the colour you would like to play with by clicking on "join in game".
In case you do not have any fellow players you can get yourself computer players (AIs) via the system. In the menu click on "Game" and then on "Add AI". You can add up to three AIs.
To start the game click on "Game" in the menu and then on "Start game".
To move off with a piece you have to dice a 6.
To dice click on the dice in the middle of the play field as soon as "GO" is displayed.
As long as there are still pieces in the home zone, moving off from the home zone always takes precedence over throwing out pieces of the other players or seeking shelter in the goal zone.
As long as one still has all pieces in the home zone one may dice up to 3 times; in case one has already one piece in the play field one may dice only once.
As soon as a 6 has been diced one may resp. must dice once again. This applies to moving off as well as on the play field.
Pulling away from the grey start field is a must-do as long as there are still pieces in the home zone. Pulling away then takes precedence over moving off, throwing out and seeking shelter. In case there are no more pieces in the home zone, pulling away is no more a must-do.
To move after dicing click on the displayed blue symbol with the little arrow. In case you have several of your pieces on the play field, click the desired piece.
One also can jump over other pieces.
Throwing out and placing
Immediately after dicing a piece has to be placed. In case one can choose between several pieces to throw out, one can choose the to be thrown out piece unrestrictedly.
Seeking shelter
In the goal zone one cannot jump over pieces; one only can move.
It is not before every piece currently located on the play field is in the goal zone, that one can dice three times again for kicking off.
Winning
The player having all his pieces in the goal zone is the winner.
