How do you play Yalla Ludo?
The gameplay is nearly the same as the physical
board
game, starting with a ludo board with four colors. Each player will be
assigned a color
and will have
four tokens
. The goal of the game is to move these four tokens out of your base and into the center of the board with the same color. To bring a piece from its yard to the squares,
you must roll a six
. You can then take a token from your base unless it's empty or you chose to move a piece six times.
If a player has no tokens yet in play and has not rolled a six, the turn passes to the next player. As with any board game that uses dice, players must always move according to the value of the die rolled. More than luck, ludo is all about
strategy
. Players need to
strategically move their pieces
to prevent the other players from reaching the goal first. However, unlike the original game, you
cannot block players
in this version.
There are
two game modes
that you can play in Yalla Ludo:
one-on-one
and
four-player mode.
Each mode has
four gameplays
. You can either play the classic, master, quick, and magic. Each game earns you coins, gems, and other rewards that you can use to unlock new tokens and dice. More, you can use these coins to re-spin your dice to roll a better number. You can also get coins and gems in the game’s daily rewards.
How do you play with other players?
In Yalla Ludo, players can play with their friends either
online or offline
. Players can set up
private and local rooms
where they can play in real-time. You can even connect with your friends on
and send them invites. To start playing with friends, you only need to click the social tab on your game app and start sending invitations.
If you want to meet new friends and play against players from across the globe, the app has a
public group chat
that connects you with more gamers. You can exchange ideas in this chatroom and meet new friends to invite to your next game. This feature
supports both text and
voice chat
. However, since it caters to a lot of users, the thread can be a little slow.
Fun game but lots of issues
With Yalla Ludo, gamers can play the game without needing an actual board and to look for players. They can easily go online, join a room, and start playing. It has the same mechanics, so you don’t have to adjust much when it comes to the gameplay. However, there are a lot of issues regarding the matches that players are having a hard time winning. Overall, it is a
good game app but needs improvement
.
