Ludo
Ludo is a race game for two players: bring all four of your tokens around the board and home before your opponent does, one die roll at a time. On KachaPlay (kachaplay.com) you play it free in your browser, against the computer, a random opponent, or a friend. This page covers the rules we use, the ways to play, and a few tips.
The rules we use
- Each player has 4 tokens that start in the yard.
- You must roll a 6 to bring a token out onto its start square.
- A 6 grants an extra roll — you keep rolling as long as you throw sixes.
- Land on a lone opponent token on an ordinary square and you capture it — it goes all the way back to its yard. Safe squares protect a token, and your own tokens can stack together freely.
- A token must reach home by exact pip count — overshooting is not allowed.
- The first player to bring all 4 tokens home wins. There are no draws.
The die is drawn by the server, so no one can influence a roll. Note the name: the Chinese catalog calls this 飞行棋, but the game here is Ludo — there is no same-colour jump or diagonal shortcut.
Ways to play on KachaPlay
Against the computer
Three difficulty levels — Rookie, Sensei and Master. Computer games are for practice: no rating change, no coins or gems.
Online against a random opponent
Get matched with another player. These games are rated — Ludo keeps its own Elo rating, and online games are where coins and gems come from.
Against a friend
Create a room and share the link, or invite a friend. Friend rooms are casual (no rating). Each online game can be no time limit, 5 minutes or 10 minutes per side. See How to Play for the full rating and currency rules.
A few tips
- Get a second token out early so a single six is not your only useful roll.
- Use safe squares as stepping stones when an opponent token is close behind.
- A capture sends a token all the way home — it is often worth more than racing ahead.
- Keep a token back near your start to threaten opponents leaving their yard.
FAQ
How many players?
This launch is two players — against the computer, a random opponent, or a friend.
Do I really need a six to start?
Yes. A token only leaves the yard on a six, and every six also earns you another roll.
Is this the same as 飞行棋 / aeroplane chess?
The name overlaps, but this is Ludo: no same-colour jumps and no diagonal shortcut dash.
飞行棋 / Ludo（中文）
飞行棋（Ludo）是双人竞速棋：比谁先把自己的四枚棋子绕行棋盘、全部到家，每次掷一颗骰子推进。在 KachaPlay （kachaplay.com）打开浏览器即可免费对战：可选电脑、随机对手或好友。 本节说明我们采用的规则、对战方式与几点建议。
我们采用的规则
- 每位玩家有 4 枚棋子，起始都在自家院子里。
- 必须掷出 6 才能把一枚棋子放到起始格出场。
- 掷 6 可再掷一次——只要连续掷 6 就一直有额外掷骰。
- 在普通格上落到对方单枚棋子上即击回——把它送回它的院子。 安全格保护棋子；自家棋子可自由叠放。
- 棋子必须以精确点数到家，多了不能走。
- 先把 4 枚棋子全部送到家的一方获胜。无和棋。
骰子由服务端掷出,无人能影响点数。名称说明:中文目录写作“飞行棋”,但这里实现的是 Ludo—— 没有同色跳跃,也没有斜线捷径冲刺。

几点建议
- 尽早让第二枚棋子出场，别让“唯一有用的点数”只剩掷 6。
- 后方有对手棋子逼近时，把安全格当作落脚点。
- 一次击回能把对方棋子送回起点，往往比自己往前冲更划算。
- 在起点附近留一枚棋子，威慑刚出院子的对手。
常见问题
几人对战？本次上线为两人——可对电脑、随机对手或好友。
真的要掷 6 才能出场吗？是的。棋子只有掷 6 才能离开院子，且每个 6 都再送一次掷骰。
和“飞行棋 / 空战棋”一样吗？名字有重叠,但这里是 Ludo:没有同色跳跃,也没有斜线冲刺。
