Description
Five-O is your favorite word game, minus the words!
Instead of letters, the tiles are numbers, and instead of forming words, each sequence of tiles has to add up to a multiple of five, and no sequences may be longer than five tiles.
"This is a great must have iPad game. And I love the fact that it really works your mind muscles. It is a very simple game but it will get you hooked." - tcgeeks.com
"The price is right, and the game is fun as well as educational. I’d very much recommend it, especially if you’re looking for something the whole family can enjoy or even just for the kids." - ipadboardgames.org

How to play:
Players take turns placing intersecting sequences of numbers on the board which add up to multiples of five. For example, 7-3-8-7 would be a valid sequence because it adds up to 25. The sequence 3-9-5 is not valid because it adds up to 17 which is not a multiple of five.
On each turn, players may play tiles in one straight line sequence, horizontally or vertically. The first sequence must be played on the center square, and all sequences after that must intersect with tiles already in play.
The score for each play is the sum of all the number tiles in sequences completed on that turn. Colored bonus squares award extra points and multipliers.
At the end of each turn, players draw new tiles to replace the ones played. The game ends when a player plays all of their remaining tiles and there are no more tiles left to draw.

Ratings and Reviews
Just brilliant
I have been playing this for years and love it. It feels like a comfort blanket and has kept me going through some tough times. Over 4,200 online games played and still going strong. Thanks
Still the Top Drawer Game!
If you enjoy Scrabble and Sudoku, you are bound to enjoy this game. As you get to understand the best ways of scoring, you can increase the difficulty level (playing against the computer) making it more challenging and interesting. You find that when you get fed up with other app games, even the mentally challenging ones, you can always return to this one; after a lot of plays you start to develop strategies when playing against the computer, like holding a '5' tile in reserve to allow higher scoring connections when you're stuck. The basic idea is so simple, but the permutations are endless. What more can you ask? Brilliant.
Update February 2014:-
The new Results Graph adds greatly to the enjoyment and interest. Still one of the best number games around !
Brilliant
Such a simple idea. A random set of numbered tiles, a scrabble type board and each turn must add up to multiples of 5. A great way to learn maths too because the board will tell you your score as you play. Brilliant that its turn based so you can take your go when you have a few moments spare. All in all one of my most played games......and I have many devices packed full of apps!
