Bagh-Chal (Tigers and Goats) strategy tips

• As the goat, place your pieces on the edges and corners first; The single goat in the middle becomes easy prey.
• Always line up the goats with their backs full: the tiger cannot jump a goat that has no space behind it.
• As a tiger, keep your tigers away from each other; It makes it difficult for the goats to trap them all at once.

Bagh-Chal (Tigers and Goats) history

Tiger Game is the traditional Nepalese game Bagh-Chal ("movement of tigers"). A 5x5 dotted diagonal board has 4 tigers on one side and 20 goats on the other.

It stands out with its asymmetrical structure: tigers are strong but few, goats are weak but many. That's why the two sides want completely different strategies, and the game teaches the power of acting together.
