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.
