Ludo is grouped with Rummy, Chess, Fantasy Sports, Poker, and Carrom. The bundle name is ludo. No stake and no RTP were published with that bundle. The bundle also does not name which board it uses.
The common public board is for 2 to 4 players. Each player has four tokens. One die shows 1 to 6. Tokens start in a yard. A roll of 6 brings one token onto the start square, and that 6 also gives an extra roll on many copies of the rules. Tokens move clockwise by the number rolled. Landing on an opponent's token sends that token back to its yard, except on a square the house marks as safe. The home stretch needs an exact roll. The first player to bring all four tokens home wins.
House rules differ, and this bundle does not pick one. Safe squares, a block of two of your own tokens, and three 6s in a row that cancel the turn are house rules. A two-dice board is a different game. Do not treat it as the rule for this bundle.
One turn on the common board
- Roll one die.
- A 6 can leave the yard. Another number moves a token that is already out, if you have one.
- An exact number finishes a token. A larger number does not enter home.
- A capture sends the other token back to its yard, unless that square is safe on the copy you are playing.

Before the first token moves
Ludo is grouped with Rummy, Chess, Fantasy Sports, Poker, and Carrom. The bundle name is ludo. No stake and no RTP were published with that bundle, and the bundle does not name which board it uses. The common public board is a separate description, not a bundle rule.
On that common board, 2 to 4 players each have four tokens and one die. Tokens start in a yard. A roll of 6 brings one token out and often gives an extra roll. Tokens move clockwise. Landing on an opponent sends that token back to its yard, except on a square the house marks as safe. Home needs an exact roll. The first player to bring all four tokens home wins. Safe squares, a block of two of your own tokens, and three 6s that cancel the turn are house rules. A two-dice board is a different game.
Fantasy Sports and Carrom sit in the same group and are not Ludo. Do not treat a house rule as the rule this bundle selected.
