1. Basic Rules

Shyam Ludo follows standard Ludo rules. Each player has 4 tokens that must complete a full circuit of the board and reach the center home area.

2. Rolling the Dice

• Players take turns rolling a single die
• You must roll a 6 to move a token out of the starting area
• Rolling a 6 gives you an extra turn
• If you cannot make a valid move, your turn is skipped

3. Capturing Tokens

• If your token lands on a square occupied by an opponent's token, the opponent's token is captured
• Captured tokens return to the starting area and must roll a 6 to re-enter
• You cannot capture a token on a safe square (marked with an X)

4. Safe Squares

Each color has 4 safe squares (including the starting square) where tokens cannot be captured. These are marked with the player's color.

5. Winning the Game

• First player to move all 4 tokens to the center home wins
• Tokens must enter home by exact count (e.g., if 2 squares away, you must roll exactly 2)
• The game ends immediately when a player wins

6. Battle-Specific Rules

• Each battle has a fixed prize pool based on the entry fee
• Commission is deducted from the prize pool as per settings
• Results must be submitted by the winner with valid room code
• Disputed results will be reviewed by admin

7. Fair Play

• No external dice or random number generators
• No collusion with opponents
• No use of automated scripts or bots
• Violations result in account suspension or ban

8. Technical Issues

In case of disconnection or technical issues:

• Rejoin using the same room code within 2 minutes
