Rules for playing Ludo:

- Number of Players: 2 to 4

- Object: To be the first player to move all of their own pieces out of the starting area, around the board, and into home.

- Setting Up: A player must throw a 6 to move a piece from the starting circle onto the first square on the track. and a throw of 6 gives another turn.

- Playing: Players take turns in a clockwise order; highest throw of the die starts.
Each throw, the player decides which piece to move. A piece simply moves in a clockwise direction around the track given by the number thrown. If no piece can legally move according to the number thrown, play passes to the next player.

If a piece lands on a piece of a different colour, the piece jumped upon is returned to its starting circle.

If a piece lands upon a piece of the same colour, this forms a block. This block cannot be passed or landed on by any opposing piece.


- Winning: When a piece has circumnavigated the board, it proceeds up the home column. A piece can only be moved onto the home triangle by an exact throw.

The first person to move all 4 pieces into the home triangle wins.
