About Tigers & Goats by BubbaJoe
The traditional game of Tigers and Goats, known as Bagh-Chal in Nepal. The Tigers attempt to hunt down and eat the Goats without getting trapped.
The main screen has a button that (hopefully) launches the App Store and takes you to my app "Ancient Games by Bubba Joe", which includes 30+ ancient strategy and puzzle games. Other than that, this app now contains no Ads, In-App Purchases, or Please-Rate-Me Popups. Previous versions of this app displayed ads, but included many more games. Thanks to onerous regulations, ad-supported apps are no longer a viable option. Sorry.
How To Play
----------------
The game is played on a 5x5 board with 4 tigers and 20 goats. The goal of the Tigers is to eat 5 goats. The goal of the Goats is to trap the Tigers so they can't move.
The game starts with a tiger in each corner and 20 goats off the board. The goats always move first.
The goats must bring in a piece each turn until all 20 have been played. After that, they move a goat to an adjacent square along the lines.
On the tigers turn, they can move to any adjacent square along a line or jump over and eat a goat.
The tigers win if they eat 5 goats.
The goats win if the tigers can't move.
