The game is asymmetric in that one player controls four tigers and the other player controls up to twenty goats. The tigers 'hunt' the goats while the goats attempt to block the tigers' movements. == Rules == The gameboard looks like this {{{ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . }}} At the start of the game all four tigers (4 pawns) are placed on the four corners of the grid, facing the center. The 20 goats (20 coins) are placed within easy reach of the goat player. No goats are placed on the board during the initial setup. The player controlling the goats moves first, by placing a goat onto a free intersection on the board. Tigers may move along the lines from one intersection to another. Once all of the goats have been placed on the board, goats must move in the same fashion as the tigers, one intersection to another. Moves alternate between players. Tigers capture goats by jumping over them to an adjacent free position (as in checkers, although capturing is not obligatory in Bagh-Chal). Rules for Tigers: * They can move to an adjacent free position along the lines. * They can capture goats during any move, and do not need to wait until all goats are placed. * They can capture only one goat at a time. * They can jump over a goat in any direction, as long as there is an open space for the tiger to complete its turn. * A tiger cannot jump over another tiger. The goats must move according to these rules: * Goats cannot move until all goats have been positioned on the board. * They must leave the board when captured. * They cannot jump over tigers or other goats. The game is over when either, the tigers capture five goats, or the goats have blocked the tigers from being able to move. Sometimes the game can fall into a repetitive cycle of positions. Goats especially may use this resort to defend themselves against being captured. To avoid this situation, an additional rule has been established: when all the goats have been placed, no move may return the board to a situation that has already occurred during the game. == License == This document uses material from the Wikipedia article <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagh_Chal">"Bagh_Chal"</a>, which is released under the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike License 3.0</a>. == Reviews and Comments == ---- CategoryGame MechanicRectangularBoardCategory MechanicAsymmetricCategory MechanicJumpingPiecesCategory SpaceRestrictionCategory CategoryNonPiecepackDotOrg GamesForChildrenCategory
