Printable Ludo Board
No board? No problem. Print this page and you have a full-size Ludo board - just add one die and four counters per player (coins, buttons and dried beans all work). The board below is drawn to print cleanly in black-and-white or colour on a single sheet.

Quick rules for the printed board
- Each player takes four counters of one colour and puts them in their corner yard.
- Roll a six to move a counter onto your coloured entry square (marked with an arrowed tint). A six always earns another roll - but three sixes in a row ends your turn.
- Race clockwise around the track. Land exactly on a lone enemy counter to send it back to its yard.
- Star squares and coloured entry squares are safe - no captures there.
- After a full lap, run up your coloured home column. You need an exact roll to reach the centre. First player with all four counters in the centre wins.
Printing tips
- Paper: A4 or US Letter, landscape or portrait both work; heavier paper (120gsm+) survives more games.
- Ink-saving: the board prints fine in greyscale - colour the yards with pencils if the kids want the classic look.
- Counters: coins, buttons, sweets, or cut-out paper circles. You need four per player and one die.
- Durability: laminate the sheet or slip it in a plastic wallet and it'll live in the travel bag for years.
