How To Play
----------------
The hounds attempt to trap the hare without letting it sneak past them.

The hounds must trap the hare within 30 moves or they lose.

The first move is by the hare. They start by placing their piece anywhere on the board. After that, it can move a single space in any direction along the lines.

The hounds may only move forward or sideways.

The game is over when the hare makes it past the hounds, if the hounds succesfully trap the hare, or after 30 moves.

If the hounds play perfectly, they should always win. But it's harder than you'd think.
