This 'cloth-board' is made by croche by my grandmother many decades back. The coins are of wood in four colours. The dices are of ivory. It is more like Ludo. We call in local as "pagade". Have to search for its English counterpart. My grandparents used to play a couple of games every afternoon. It is a very interesting game for 2-4 players. Red/Black are opposites, Green/Yellow are opposites.
