Play Fox and Geese Online Free | Medieval Hunt Game vs AI

1. Thirteen geese start on the lower arm and the row above it; the fox starts on the center point.
2. Geese step one point along a line, forward or sideways — never backward, and they can never jump.
3. The fox steps one point in any direction, or leaps an adjacent goose to the empty point beyond, eating it. Leaps can chain.
4. The geese win by pinning the fox so it has no legal move.
5. The fox wins when fewer than six geese remain — too few to close a trap.

• The board is a cross of 33 points; pieces move along the marked lines.
• Geese move forward and sideways only; the fox moves in all four directions.
• Only the fox captures, by the short leap; chain jumps are allowed and always optional.
• Geese cannot be leapt when a goose (or the board edge) blocks the landing point: a solid wall is leap-proof.
• Geese traditionally move first.

Playing the geese - March as an unbroken phalanx: any goose with an empty point directly behind it is an invitation. - Do not chase; herd. Advance the whole line and shrink the fox's territory a row at a time. - Steer the fox toward an arm of the cross: three walls do half your work.

Playing the fox - Attack the flanks: wing geese are the first to step out of line. - Bait the wall: retreating a step often tempts a goose forward into jump range. - Count to six: every capture weakens the wall geometrically. Below nine geese the wall leaks; below six you have won.

• Red dots mark the fox's capturing leaps; green dots are quiet steps.
• During a chain the fox may stop any time: press End turn.
• Playing geese, watch the counter: it turns dangerous under nine and lost under six.
• Try both sides — the fox teaches you what the wall must never do.
