Five

Five is derived from an ancient Indian game like Ludo. Unlike all other games from this source, Five can be played without dice; then it turns into a game of pure strategy.

Five board game
designed by John Cartmell
using RISC OS software (ArtWorks)

Five begins where Ludo leaves off.
It's a game for 2 - 4 players but, unlike Ludo
you don't need dice.
Just plenty of thinking!
