Ancient boardgame from India meaning "The game of five". The goal of the game is to collect 3 pieces in a treasure island. The game play is simple: the player throws the 6 special dice and put his pieces in the path. Captures are possible too, and the winner is the player that moves all 3 pieces to his island. A Sri Lankan race game for two players. It has elements of Ludo-type games, in as much that you both start with three men and you win by getting all three 'home'. The board is unusual, in that it is not a 'circle', rather it is a track of 31 spaces, with some spaces marked as castles and you are safe from being sent home on them.
