Bagh Chal (The Devil's Plan)

Bagh Chal is an abstract strategy game from ancient Nepal, which pits tigers against goats. The tigers must catch the goats while the goats try to pen in the tigers. There are four tiger counters and twenty goat counters. The game stars with the four tiger counters positioned on the four corners of the board. When the game starts, the player playing as the goat has 90 seconds to place a goat counter on one of the empty spaces on the board. After all 20 goats have been placed, the goat player moves one of the goat counters one space along the lines marked on the board. On the tiger player’s turn, they must either move one of their counters or capture a goat. The tiger counter can be moved one space along the lines marked on the board. If there is a goat next to a tiger with an empty space on the other side, the tiger can capture the goat by leaping over it and into the empty space. When that happens, the goat counter is removed from the board. There are two ways for the game to end. Fir
