A Ludo King alternative for playing with people in the room
If you want Ludo for family nights rather than online matches with strangers, Game Night is a free alternative: 1–4 players vs AI, pass-and-play on one phone, or friends nearby over Bluetooth or the same Wi-Fi — all offline, no account, no in-app purchases, with house rules you can switch on or off.

When Ludo King is the better pick
If your friends are in another city, Ludo King's online rooms and voice chat win — Game Night doesn't have online play yet. If you like a huge community and seasonal themes, Ludo King has them.
When Game Night is the better pick
Family nights, car rides, flights and places with no signal; young kids you'd rather keep away from strangers; and groups who also want Truth or Dare or a dice roller without installing three apps. Learn the rules and modes on the Ludo page.
Your first game in two minutes
- Pick who plays. Solo against 1–3 computer players (Low, Medium or High difficulty), or pass one phone around for 2–4 people.
- Set your house rules. Tokens to win (1 for a quick game, 4 for the classic), one or two rolls per turn, and a turn timer from off to two minutes.
- Switch on the extras you argue about. Safe squares, the three-sixes forfeit, arrow tiles and power-ups are all toggles — leave them off for the plain game you grew up with.
- Friends on their own phones? The host opens a Bluetooth or same-Wi-Fi room; everyone else joins from their own phone (on Wi-Fi, by scanning the host's QR code) — no internet, no accounts.
Stopped halfway? A game against the computer is saved, so you can pick it up after dinner.
