What Bagh Chal Is

Bagh Chal is a Nepali hunt game. The board is 25 intersection points on an Alquerque graph: orthogonal lines always exist, and diagonals exist only on points whose row and column sum is even.

The four tigers already occupy the corners. Goats enter one by one on empty points. After each placement a tiger may step to a neighbouring empty point or jump an adjacent goat to the empty point beyond it. Captured goats leave the board at once. After all twenty goats are placed, goats may only step to an adjacent empty point; they never capture.

It looks like black and white stones on kaya wood. In play it is about closing jump landings, keeping a tiger from walking out of a corner, and when to keep a goat in hand. The rules page covers the fine print; if you want the feel of the hunt, start with the AI board above.
