🎯 Objective

Be the first player to move all 4 of your tokens from your home base, around the board, and into your finish zone (center column of your color).

🎲 Rolling the Dice

• Click "Roll Dice" on your turn to roll a single die (1-6).
• You must roll a 6 to move a token out of your home base onto the starting square.
• Rolling a 6 gives you an extra turn!
• If you roll three 6s in a row, your turn ends (to prevent infinite turns).

🏃 Movement

• Tokens move clockwise around the board.
• You must move a token if any legal move is possible.
• Click on a highlighted token to select it for movement.
• Tokens travel 51 squares around the board before entering their home column.

⚔️ Capturing - Nigerian Ludo Rules

• Landing on an opponent's token sends it back to their home base.
• Capturing gives a bonus turn!
• Cannot capture opponent on THEIR start square (they're protected).
• Need a 6 to capture on YOUR start square when opponent is there.
• All other squares: normal capture rules apply.

🛡️ Start Square Protection

• Your start square (colored): Need a 6 to capture opponents there.
• Opponent's start square: They're fully protected - cannot capture.
• Multiple tokens can stack on start squares.
• No decorative stars - this is Nigerian Ludo style!

🏠 Finishing

• After going around the board, tokens enter their colored home column.
• Tokens must land on the final square by exact count.
• Once a token reaches the center, it is safe and scored.
• First player to get all 4 tokens home wins!

🤖 AI Difficulty

• Easy: Makes random valid moves.
• Medium: Prioritizes captures and finishing.
• Hard: Strategic play with defensive awareness.
