Thunder Ludo is a free, real-time version of Ludo, the classic board game of dice, tokens and last-second captures that generations of families have played around the kitchen table. It runs entirely in your browser, so you can start a game on a phone, tablet or computer in seconds, with nothing to install.
Every roll is generated on our server and every move is checked against the rules there, so nobody can tamper with a game from their own device. Play a quick game against a bot, match up with other players, invite friends to a private room, or just watch. When you want to get better, our guides cover the rules, strategy and even the probability behind every roll.
A one-on-one game against a computer opponent that starts instantly. Ideal for learning the rules or warming up before a real match.
Pick a 2, 3 or 4-player table and get matched with players who chose the same size. If nobody turns up within 20 seconds, computer players fill the empty seats so you are never left waiting.
Create a room, share its 6-character code and play with up to three friends. The host starts the game as soon as at least two players are ready.
Drop into games in progress and follow every roll, capture and finish in real time, or look a game up by its room code.
