The Ludo board that
plays your house rules.
Every family plays Ludo a little differently, and most games only allow one way. Ludo Ornova ships fifteen rule sets — and the board below runs the same rules engine as the Android app, right in this page.
The app plays with no internet at all — aeroplane mode, a lift, a tunnel, a train. This page needs a browser and nothing else.
Play now
Pass and play on one device, or take on the computer. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Fifteen ways to play
Rules here are data, not code — one engine runs all of them, which is why the browser board and the app never disagree about what is legal.
What the app adds
Two to six players
The app adds a six-player hexagonal board on top of the classic four-player cross.
Snakes & Ladders too
Two boards and two rule sets, including the traditional "roll a 1 to start" game.
Nine languages
English, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Indonesian.
Pass and play
Everyone round one phone. No accounts, no lobbies, no waiting for a stranger to take their turn.
Build your own rules
The Custom set exposes every switch: dice, safe squares, blockades, exact home, victory condition.
Questions
Is the browser game really the same as the app?
The rules are. The app's rules engine was written as plain C# with no game-engine code in it, and this page runs a JavaScript port of that same engine, checked against the same test suite — over six million assertions, including a randomised run across every rule set, both boards and every player count. The app adds things this page does not have: the six-player board, Snakes & Ladders, saved games and nine languages.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email box and no login. Open the page and press Start.
Does this page send my game anywhere?
No. The whole match runs in your browser — no moves, names or results leave the page. See the privacy policy.
Can I play with a friend?
Yes — on one device. Choose two, three or four humans and pass the phone or laptop round. Online play between devices is not part of this page.
Why can my token not move?
Usually one of three rules: you need a 6 to bring a token out of the yard, you need the exact number to finish, or a blockade of two enemy tokens is sitting in the way. Open the rule list under the board — it is generated from the rules actually in play, not written out by hand, so it always matches.
