Ludo on Arcadia
Ludo is the classic race-to-home board game where timing, risk, and captures decide outcomes. Arcadia keeps it fast and readable with clean turns and competitive rooms.
To win more often, focus on safe squares, smart token splitting, and avoiding greedy captures that ruin your home timing.
How to Play
- Roll to bring a token out (variant-dependent).
- Move tokens around the track.
- Land on opponents to capture and send them back.
- Enter your home lane and get tokens home.
- First player to get all tokens home wins.
Core Rules
- Captures send opponent tokens back to base.
- Safe squares protect tokens from capture.
- Exact rolls may be required to enter home (variant-dependent).
- Multiple tokens give flexibility, but also create risk if overextended.
Strategy: Win More Ludo Games
- Split tokens early to reduce single-token disaster risk.
- Use safe squares to stabilize.
- Don’t chase every capture — protect your route to home.
- Block leaders when it doesn’t slow your own progress.
- Keep one token as a “runner” and one as a “defender” when possible.
Practical Tips
- When ahead, reduce risk: prioritize safe movement.
- When behind, create high-variance opportunities: pressure with capture threats.
- Watch who is closest to home and adapt.
- Don’t stack all tokens unless you’re intentionally building a defensive wall.
