  4. Read the entry fee and prize information carefully, then join the match.
  5. Turn timer: each player normally gets 60 seconds to complete their move/turn.
  6. Missed turns: if you miss 3 turns in a row (no move in your 60 seconds), you are disqualified and the opponent wins automatically.

Ludo - Detailed Rules

  1. Choose Ludo from the games list and join a contest from the lobby.
  2. Each player controls up to four tokens of their color and gets 60 seconds per turn to roll the dice and move.
  3. You must roll a 6 to move a new token out of home onto the starting square on the board path.
  4. When you roll a 6, you usually get an extra dice roll chance in the same turn (as per standard Ludo rules in the app).
  5. Move your tokens forward clockwise according to the dice number and try to cut opponent tokens by landing exactly on their square.
  6. Some squares are safe squares where tokens cannot be cut (for example highlighted/star squares). Tokens standing there are protected from capture.
  7. Bring all of your tokens into the home area to win the match. If a player misses 3 turns (no move within 60 seconds each time), that player is disqualified and the other player wins.

Chess - Detailed Rules

  2. Each player gets 60 seconds per turn to make a legal move with one of their pieces.
  3. Move pieces according to official chess rules (king one square in any direction, queen in any direction, rooks straight lines, bishops diagonally, knights in ā€œLā€ shape, pawns forward with diagonal capture).
  4. Try to control the center squares, develop your pieces early, and always protect your king from checks.
  5. If you miss 3 turns in a row (no move within your 60 second timer each time), you are disqualified and your opponent wins.
  6. Win by checkmating the opponent king (king is in check and cannot escape). If draw conditions occur (stalemate, insufficient material, repetition, etc.), the result follows the chess rules configured inside the app.

  4. When you land on the bottom of a ladder, you climb up to the higher square instantly, which helps you move ahead faster.
  5. If you land on a snake head, your token slides down to the lower square at the tail of the snake, sending you back.
  6. Reach the final target cell before your opponent to win the game. If you miss 3 turns in a row (no move in your 60 seconds), you are disqualified and your opponent wins.
