Nepal's Tigers & Goats
The Himalayan game of pursuit

🐐 YOU ARE THE GOATS

Place 20 goats onto the board, then slide them along the lines. Hem the tigers in until none of them can move — and the herd wins.

🐅 THE AI HUNTS AS TIGERS

Four tigers hold the corners. They leap over a lone goat to eat it. Let them capture five goats and the tigers rule the board.

HOW TO PLAY
Bagh-Chal — Nepal's national game of pursuit

🐐 THE GOATS (YOU)

  • You begin by placing 20 goats, one per turn, on any empty point.
  • Once all 20 are placed, move a goat one step along a line to an adjacent empty point.
  • Goats can never jump or capture — your only weapon is the wall.
  • Trap all four tigers so none can move, and the herd wins.

🐅 THE TIGERS (AI)

  • Four tigers start in the corners and move one step along a line each turn.
  • A tiger captures by leaping over a single adjacent goat onto the empty point directly beyond.
  • Tigers are never forced to capture, but can leap a lone goat at any time — even during placement — so never leave a goat jumpable.
  • If the tigers eat five goats, they win.

STRATEGY

  • Guard your goats in pairs — a goat with a friend behind it cannot be jumped.
  • Never leave an empty point directly beyond a goat in line with a tiger.
  • Build walls to shrink the tigers' space and box them into corners.
HERD WINS
The tigers are trapped — the goats have hemmed them in!
