About Adu Huli Board Game
How to Play!
Game Paraphernalia –
1 game board, 18 game pieces. 3 of which are tigers and the remaining 15 are goats.
Game Setup –
- All goats have to be introduced on the board before a goat can start moving. (fig 1)
- 3 Pawns (either tigers or goats) should be placed only on intersections of lines.
Rules to play –
- The goats must move according to these rules: They must leave the board when captured. They cannot jump over the tigers or other goats. They can only move after all 15 have been put on the board.
- The tigers must move according to these rules: They can start capturing goats in any moment after the match has started. They can capture only one goat at a time. They can jump over a goat in any direction.(fig 2)
- But the direction must be to an adjacent intersection following any of the lines drawn on the board. A tiger cannot jump over another tiger.
How to Win
- Tigers win if they take out at least 6 goats.
- Goats win if they immobilize all three tigers.
- The goat objective is to encircle the tigers so that none of the tigers can move. The tiger objective is to kill all the goats.
Tip & Tricks
- At the start of the game, all 3 tigers are placed on the apex, and 2 inner places closest to the apex. All goats start off the board.
- The player controlling the goats moves first by placing a goat onto a free intersection on the board. Then it is the tiger’s turn. One tiger is then moved to an adjacent position along the lines that indicate the valid moves.
- A tiger captures a goat by jumping over it to an adjacent free position (like in checkers). The goats can not move until all 15 have been put on the board.
Maintenance & Care
- Avoid direct sunlight for long.
- Dust or wipe with a dry brush/ cloth.
