How to play Ludo Dice
Ludo Dice is the classic roll-and-race board game against computer opponents. Pick two, three or four players, choose a quick match with two tokens each or the classic four, and set the bots to easy, normal or hard. Roll a six to bring a token out, then walk it round the 52-cell ring and up your own coloured home column. You need the exact number to land in the centre.
A six, a capture or reaching the centre gives you another roll, but three sixes in a row lose your turn. Land on a lone rival token and it goes back to its yard. Star cells and start cells are safe, and two tokens of the same colour on one cell form a block that cannot be captured, so you can plan a defence as well as a dash.
Three power-ups add some spice. Twin dice rolls two dice a turn for three turns, Zap sends one rival token home, and Shield keeps your tokens safe from capture for a few rounds. Each is unlocked once per match by watching an optional video, and the bots use theirs for free on the harder levels. Win streaks and your record are saved on your device.

FAQ
How do I get a token out of the yard?
Roll a six. A six also gives you another roll. If every token is still in the yard, three failed rolls in a row guarantee a six on the next one.
Which cells are safe?
The four start cells and the four star cells. A rival cannot capture you there. Two of your tokens on one cell also form a block that cannot be captured.
What do the power-ups do?
Twin rolls two dice per turn for three turns, Zap sends one rival token back to its yard, and Shield protects your tokens on the track for three rounds. Each can be used once per match after an optional video.
How does a match end?
The first player to bring every token into the centre wins, and the others are ranked by how far they got. You need the exact roll to land in the centre.
