Ludo variants
Other ways to play Ludo, each one ready to play here. Read how a variant changes the rules, then start a game with it chosen in the table setup.
Pachisi-style Ludo
Ludo played with rules taken from Pachisi, the Indian game it comes from: twelve castle squares where no piece can be captured, and pieces that double up on any square.
Team Ludo
Four or six players in teams of two, partners sitting opposite. Partners never capture each other, and a team wins when both partners have brought all their tokens home.
Ludo with blockades
Two or more of one player's tokens on a square form a blockade that opponents can neither capture, land on nor pass.
Ludo entering on a 1 or a 6
A roll of 1 as well as a 6 brings a token out of the yard onto your start square, so tokens get into play twice as often.
Ludo for six players
Ludo for five or six players on a six-armed board: a 78-square track, Purple and Orange joining the four usual colours, and three teams of two if you want partners.
