Ludo Fighters game modesOne tap to fight. Or set every rule.
Jump straight into a Quick battle against three Lumi AI squads, build a Custom match with your own house rules, or pass one phone around the table. Online squads are on the way.
Mode 01 · Quick battle
You against three Lumi AI squads
The big brass button on the home screen. One tap and you are on the board as Red, with Green, Yellow and Blue played by Lumi AI.
- No setup screen: it uses the battlefield, difficulty and house rules you saved last time.
- The board turns so your colour sits in the bottom-left corner, facing you.
- Lumi AI rolls and moves by itself. You just watch its turns play out. Meet Lumi AI
Mode 02 · Custom match
Build the match your group plays
One scrolling screen, top to bottom. Your choices are saved for next time, including for Quick battle.
- 01PlayersTap a colour to add or remove it: 2 to 4 players. Set each to Human or Lumi AI and give it a name of up to 12 letters.
- 02Lumi AI difficultyEasy, Normal or Hard for every Lumi AI seat.

Mode 03 · Pass and play
Friends round one phone
Lay the phone flat on the table and take turns. Pass and play opens the match setup with two human players already seated on opposite corners: Player 1 as Red and Player 2 as Yellow.
Up to four humans
Add Green and Blue as more players, or seat Lumi AI there to fill the table.
Hot-seat
The seats along the far edge turn upside down, so the player opposite reads the dice the right way up. Only the current player's side lights up.
Mode 04 · Coming soon
Online squads
Playing with friends on their own phones is not built yet. The home screen shows it as Coming soon. On the roadmap: online squads with friends and a 2v2 team mode with quick chat and emotes. These are plans, not dated promises.
In progress
Up to six at the table
Every mode seats 2 to 4 squads today. A six-house board is being built so five or six squads can play, any mix of people and Lumi AI. The four-house board stays for smaller games.
House rules
Every switch, its default, what it does
Every family plays Ludo a little differently. These are the settings in Custom match, with the defaults a new player starts on.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Must roll a 6 to leave base | On | A soldier only deploys onto the board on a 6. Off: any roll can bring one out. |
| Extra turn on rolling a 6 | On | Roll a 6 and you roll again after your move. |
| Extra turn after a capture | On | Win a gun fight and you get another roll. |
| Three 6s forfeit the turn | On | A third 6 in a row ends your turn on the spot (single-die play). |
| Exact roll to reach home | On | You need the exact number to step into the centre. Off: any roll that reaches it counts. |
| Safe star squares | On | Stars and start squares shield soldiers from gun fights. Off: every square is open ground. |
| Fast animations | Off | Shorter hops and fights: a gun fight drops from about 1.3 s to about 0.8 s. |
| Win when | All 4 home | All 4 home: the classic full match. First home: the first soldier into the centre wins. |
| Dice | One die | Two dice: two moves per turn, one per die, and doubles earn a bonus turn. |
| Hot-seat: face each player | On | With two or more human seats, the seats on the far side turn upside down so the player opposite can read them. |
| Lumi AI difficulty | Normal | Easy, Normal or Hard, for every Lumi AI seat in the match. |
| Battlefield | Jungle | Jungle, Desert, Snowfield or Night Ops. Looks only, the rules don't change. |
Getting a soldier home always earns an extra roll. Settings like music, squad voice, vibration and reduce motion live in Settings on the home screen.
