Senet uses a more complicated scheme - there are four sticks (knucklebones), with one black side and one white side (or whatever colors as long as they’re different). You toss all four in the air and see how many come up white. Then you get to move that many spaces. If all four come up black, you get to to move six spaces, so there’s no zero.
There’s some argument whether 4 black gets you five or six spaces, and whether some of them mean you lose a turn or get to go again.
Of course there’s no reason you can’t play it with a die or a numbered pencil like this.
