About the game
What is Bagh-Chal?
Bagh-Chal (बाघचाल), or “Tiger Movement,” is a traditional Nepali game played with four tigers and twenty goats. Tigers jump over goats to capture them; the goats work together to trap the tigers.
How to play
Goats are placed one at a time. Once all twenty are on the board, they can move along connected lines. Tigers can move one step or jump a goat to capture it. Tigers win after five captures; goats win by trapping all four tigers.
