Parchisi - The Classic Two-Dice Pachisi Board Game with Blockades, Free Online

Each player picks a color (red, blue, yellow, or green) and starts with four pawns in their corner base. On your turn, roll the die: a 6 lets you move a pawn out of base onto your start square, and rolling a 6 also earns you a bonus roll. Land on an opponent on a non-safe square to send their pawn back to base. The first player to walk all four pawns clockwise around the 52-square track and into their home column (exact roll required to enter the center triangle) wins the match.

Rolling a 6 in Foony Ludo does two things: it unlocks a pawn from base if you want to bring one into play, and it grants a bonus roll on the same turn. Bonus rolls stack, but three sixes in a row forfeit the turn outright (the third roll is voided and play passes clockwise to the next color). This is the standard rule that Wikipedia and Masters Traditional Games both cite, and the version Foony ships by default.

Yes. Two-player Ludo is the most common setup outside of a four-friend lobby. With two players, each side sits opposite each other (diagonally) on the board. Pass-and-play on one device works for up to four local players.

Open the Ludo page on Foony, hit "New Room," and share the room URL with up to three friends. Anyone who opens the link lands directly in the lobby as a guest. When you are ready, start the match. Use Play Ludo to spin up a new room any time and grab a fresh share link.

Foony Ludo seats 2 to 4 players per match at the four colored corners, which is the official Wikipedia range for the game. You can fill empty seats with up to four bots, mix humans and bots, or play locally pass-and-play with up to four people on the same device. Foony also lets you play with more than four players via round-robin.

Yes. Foony has three bot tiers: Easy (plays mostly at random), Medium (the default, has some strategy and some randomness), and Hard (much harder).

When your pawn lands on a track square occupied by an enemy pawn, that pawn is captured and sent back to its base. Foony tracks captures as a match stat, but the win condition is still the race home: the first color with all four pawns in the center wins. Eight squares on the track are safe: the four colored start squares and the four "globe" squares eight steps after each start. Pawns sitting on a safe square cannot be captured, so they are the natural rest stops on your race home.

No. They're close cousins. Sorry is a Hasbro card-driven game that was directly based on Ludo, but Sorry replaces the die with a deck of action cards (1-12 plus Sorry! cards) and adds slide squares that capture for free. Ludo keeps the single die, the bonus roll on a 6, and the requirement to roll a 6 to bring a pawn out of base. In the US, the closer commercial equivalent is Parcheesi (also Hasbro), which uses two dice and a slightly larger 68-square track.

Both descend from the Indian game Pachisi, but Parcheesi (Hasbro's North American version) uses two dice, a 68-square track, and a doubles-based bonus rule, while Ludo uses a single die, a 52-square track, and the roll-a-6 entry rule. Foony ships the international Ludo ruleset by default, and if you grew up on the two-dice game, the Parchisi room preset switches on two dice per turn, entering on a 5, and pawn blockades.

There is no trick to the dice, but there is a trick to deciding which pawn to move. Bring all four pawns onto the track as soon as you roll sixes (one stranded pawn in base is a wasted quarter of your army). Keep at least one pawn within 6 squares of an opponent so you can potentially capture them. Stop on the safe star spots and start squares when you cannot reach your home column in a single move, and save bonus rolls from 6s for advancing a back pawn rather than a leader who is already safe in the home stretch.

Yes. Every Ludo match awards account-level XP and coins based on captures, pawns brought home, and the match outcome. You can spend coins on cosmetic pawn skins and dice in the Play Ludo shop, and matches count toward the public Ludo leaderboards filtered by day, week, month, and all-time. Foony Ludo also has a few achievements to strive for.

Yes. Foony Ludo is free to play in any modern browser with no app install. Guest accounts can join any friend-room URL and play full matches. Signing up with an account allows you to save your progress and show up on the leaderboard.

No. Foony Ludo loads as a browser tab on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge across desktop, tablet, and phone. The board renders natively in the page, the die roll is server-authoritative so a tab reload cannot fake a 6, and the entire game state syncs over a WebSocket so spectating a friend's lobby works without a page refresh.

No. Foony Ludo is a free online Ludo game with shareable invite-link rooms for friend matches, three AI bot tiers for solo practice (Easy, Medium, Hard), and the full international ruleset including the roll-a-6-to-leave-base rule and the eight safe squares. Ludo King is an app with a different feature set.
