How do you win Ludo?

• You win Classic Ludo by getting all four tokens around the track and onto your home triangle before anyone else.
• Each token must finish with an exact roll. Overshooting does not count, so end-game rolls matter.
• Your home column is private. Once a token turns in, it can never be captured.

• Use every six well. Early on, sixes should usually bring new tokens out of the yard so you have options.
• Spread your tokens. Four tokens in a loose line cover more of the board than a tight cluster.
• Park on safe squares. The 8 safe squares are free rest stops when enemies are close.
• Capture when it is cheap. A capture erases an enemy lap. Learn the timing in how capturing works.
• Count threats before moving. Check which enemy tokens sit within six squares of yours.

• Racing one token far ahead while three sit in the yard.
• Leaving a lone token one to six squares in front of an enemy.
• Chasing a capture that pulls your token badly out of position.
• Forgetting the exact-roll rule and jamming tokens at the end of the home column.

In Quick Ludo you only need two tokens home, so speed beats safety. In Team Ludo your team needs all eight tokens home, and teammates never capture each other, so a move that helps your partner is a move that helps you.
