LudoLive reconnects you automatically and restores your seat with the same room code. If a player stays offline, the game continues so nobody is left waiting forever.

Two to six, in every mode. Online rooms are opened with 2 to 6 seats — the host picks the size before sharing the code. Pass & play on one device also seats 2 to 6, and five- and six-player matches get their own pentagon and hexagon boards. Against the computer you can face 1 to 3 AI opponents.

Yes, and here is exactly how. Instead of drawing each roll independently, every player has their own shuffled shoeof dice faces — three copies of each of the six faces, shuffled with your browser's cryptographic random generator and dealt without replacement, then topped up with a fresh set before it runs out. Over a match every face comes up its full one-in-six share, and no player's luck can eat another's. Because cards are drawn without replacement, a face is slightly less likely immediately after it appears, so runs are shorter than with independent dice — and a fourth identical face in a row is held back deliberately, because it can only read as broken. A turn is capped at two sixes the same way: the third roll of a turn is dealt from the other five faces rather than the turn being taken away from you. Nothing is scripted to a result and no roll is decided in advance. The shoes live on the authoritative side only — your own device in solo and pass & play, the host in online rooms — so no player can read or steer a future roll, and the host's engine validates every move. The full rules are on the Ludo rules page.

Yes. Online rooms have quick one-tap messages, emoji reactions and a short typed message box. Messages are sent directly between players and are not stored anywhere after the match ends.

The match keeps going. The first player to bring all four tokens home takes first place, and the remaining players carry on racing for second, third and so on until only one is left. That last player is placed automatically, so nobody has to play out a match they cannot win.
