Play Ludo online against the computer

TAPSIXTY Ludo is the classic four-colour race game, played solo against 1 to 3 computer rivals with easy, medium and hard difficulty. You play red; roll a 6 to bring a token out of base, then steer all four of your tokens clockwise around the board and up your home column. Land on a rival and you send it all the way back to base — unless it's parked on a safe star. First to bring all four tokens home wins, and your score is how many of yours made it.

Where the skill hides

The dice are luck; which token you move is not. Every roll where you have options is a real decision — bring out a fresh token or push a runner? Chase a capture or hold a safe square? The hard bot punishes lazy choices, which is exactly what makes beating it satisfying. Tokens walk the board cell by cell, so you can always read the position at a glance.

A game with deep roots

Ludo descends from pachisi, a cross-and-circle race game played in India for centuries before it was simplified into the version most of us grew up with. The bones of the game — the shared track, the race home, the capture — are far older than any board in a toy shop.

FAQ

Do I need an account or download?

No — it runs free in your browser, on desktop or phone, no sign-up.

How do the difficulty levels differ?

Easy bots move almost at random; medium plays sensible percentages; hard actively hunts captures and protects its runners.

Is Ludo luck or skill?

Both — rolls are luck, choices are skill. Over many games, the better chooser wins more. Our guide digs into exactly this.
