Ludo

Ludo is a browser board race. Each player has four tokens that start in their home base. On your turn, roll the die and move one token forward along the track that wraps around the board.

The path runs clockwise from your colored start square, all the way around the outer ring, and then turns into your private home column leading to the center finish. You must travel the full loop before cutting into your home stretch — and you need exact rolls to land the final step into the center.

Landing on a square occupied by a single opponent token (outside the safe star squares) captures it and sends that token all the way back to its base. The first player to bring all four tokens safely to the center wins. Roll a six and you get to roll and move again — but three sixes in a row forfeits your turn.

The board is a 15×15 grid with 52 squares on the shared outer ring and four private home columns of five or six squares each. Because a capture sends a token all the way back to base — costing it a full lap of 52 squares — a single well-timed hit is usually worth more than two safe moves.
