Baghchal

Baghchal means "goat's move." It's a two-player game from Nepal, played on a grid. One player has 4 tigers. The other player has up to 20 goats. Tigers try to jump over goats to catch them. Goats try to trap the tigers so they can't move.

How it's played

  1. One player controls the 4 tigers. The other player places and moves the goats.
  2. Tigers catch goats by jumping over them into an empty space — just like in checkers.
  3. Goats win by trapping all the tigers so none of them can move.
  4. Tigers win once they've caught enough goats that a trap is no longer possible.
  5. Play now — against the computer, or with a friend by passing the same device back and forth.
