This Ludo currently support two players with two houses each. In this game, each player controls eight pieces. The goal of the game is to move all eight pieces home before your opponent. ------------MOVEMENT OF PIECE-------- A player with red house starts the game (in a case of winning, the loser starts the game with red house). A piece can only come out of house when a die outcome is 6 but a piece that is already on the track can move with any dice outcome. Pieces travel through the track starting from home to the middle of the board. A track contains 56 steps. A piece can only be removed if it successfully travels through the 56 steps or if it captures opponent's piece. ----------------PIECE CAPTURE------------------- A player's piece can capture opponent's piece if it ends in a block that is occupied by an opponent's. The captured piece must be returned home while the player's piece is removed from the board. The secret of the game is to capture your opponent's piece as many as possible and avoid being captured by your opponent's piece. A piece cannot capture opponent's piece if the remaining outcome cannot be used. ----------IMPORTANT NOTE----------- 1. A player can only roll dice twice consecutively or more as far as each dice outcome is 6 (first dice outcome = 6 and second dice outcome = 6). 2. Dice outcome must be played before rolling another one no matter the outcome. 3. For fast and smooth play, go to settings and turn on DIRECT COUNT.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Uncle Joe at none against Naija Ludo's 6. Uncle Joe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (57% vs 33%). Naija Ludo's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 33) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Naija Ludo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Naija Ludo has 2.6K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Naija Ludo's written reviews are positive against 57% of Uncle Joe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Naija Ludo ships an update every 2 months, Uncle Joe every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
