Host a ludo night. Tonight, if you like.
People gather, argue, play again and remember who beat whom. You do not need us to organise any of it. Here is what you need, how the evening runs, and the ways to set the table.
A screen and some phones. That is the kit.
Nothing to buy and nothing to install on the television. Check these four before people arrive.
A TV, a laptop or a projector. Open table.ludoo.online on it and it becomes the board.
Scanning the code opens Ludoo on that phone. The app is in beta on iPhone and Android: get it here.
Table Mode and Private online need one. Pass & play does not.
Characters take any seat left empty, so a table is never short.
Open, scan, flick. Then argue about it.
A game night in five beats, from setting up to the last match.
Open the table
Put table.ludoo.online on the biggest screen in the room. A QR code and a join code appear.
Settle the arguments early
Three sixes, the sideways kick: the contested rules are settings you choose before the match. Choose them together. See the rules.
Everyone scans in
Phones point at the code. Four seats, four colours, filled in any order. Whoever could not make it joins with the code from wherever they are.
Flick from your hand
Throw on your phone and watch the die land on the big screen. If it leaves the table, the throw is gone.
One more
More than four of you? Swap who sits out between matches. Nobody leaves after a single game.
Four ways to run it. Pick the one that fits the room.
The same game, set for the people you have and where they are.
Table Mode
The TV is the board. Each phone is a player's hand.
Hybrid table
Friends elsewhere join by code and sit in equal seats beside the people in the room.
Pass & play
Hand it round. No screen, no signal needed.
Two against two
Play as two teams of two.
Nothing is scheduled. On purpose.
A ludo tournament needs settled rules, a ranked ladder with enough players to mean something, and a format that survives somebody's connection dropping in the semi-final. Those are being built in that order. We would rather run the first one late than run it badly.
Your table
The board is ready. Bring the people.
Open a table on the TV now. Join the beta so everyone has Ludoo on their phone.
