What's New on PlayLudo: 5-Player Games, House Rules and a Bigger Board

We've been busy. Here's everything that's new.

5-Player Games

Play with up to five players on a new five-sided board, online or on one device with Pass & Play. Just pick 5. Update: 6-player games are here too, with pink as the sixth colour. → How 5- and 6-player Ludo works

House Rules

  • Pieces come out on a 6 by default. Prefer the old way? Pick "1 only" or "1 or 6".
  • Cut to unlock home (optional): you can't go home until you've cut someone.
  • Must cut (optional): miss a cut you could have made and your piece closest to home goes back.
  • Extra turn for a cut and continue after the first winner are now on by default.

A Bigger Board

The sidebar is gone in every mode. The board fills the screen, and Menu and Leave sit in the top corner, out of the way. On phones the player cards are compact, so nothing gets cut off.

Reactions on the Board

In online games, tap the smiley on your own name to send a reaction. It pops up from your spot on the board.
