How are my Ludo stats saved?

Nothing to set up: from your very first game the site quietly keeps your numbers. Where they live, what is counted, and how to keep them when you switch phones - here is the whole picture.

Quick answer: Your stats are saved automatically in your browser's localStorage, tracked separately for each game mode: games played, wins, best time, fewest turns, best score and streak. A free account (email or Google sign-in) syncs those records across devices, and leaderboard wins can carry a guest name without any account.

What gets tracked

For every game and mode - Classic, Quick, Team, Pachisi, Parcheesi, Uckers, Mensch ärgere Dich nicht, Fia and the daily challenge - the site records:

  • Games played and games won
  • Best time to finish a game
  • Fewest turns in a finished game
  • Best score (captures and tokens home earn points; each turn costs a little - see how scoring works)
  • Your current win streak

Where the data lives

By default, everything is stored in your browser's localStorage - a small storage area on your own device. That means stats work with no account and no server, but it also means they belong to that browser on that device. Clearing browsing data deletes them, and your phone and laptop each keep their own separate records until you sync them.

Syncing with a free account

A free account - sign in with email or Google - backs your records up and syncs them across devices, so the best time you set on your phone shows up on your desktop too. If you only ever play on one device, you can skip the account entirely; see do I need an account for what each option gets you.

Leaderboards and guest names

You do not need an account to show up in public either: a leaderboard win can be posted under a guest name you choose. The same goes for the daily challenge board. An account simply makes sure the name - and the history behind it - follows you everywhere.
