Four tigers start in the corners. Twenty goats are placed one at a time on any empty point.
Goats go first and cannot move at all until all twenty are on the board.
Tigers move one step along a drawn line, or jump straight over a single goat to the empty point behind it and eat that goat.
Once every goat is placed, goats also move one step along a line. Goats never jump.
Tigers win by eating five goats. Goats win by blocking all four tigers so no tiger can move.

Points are named like a map: columns a to e from the left, rows 1 to 5 from the top. So c3 is the centre.

Bagh Chal is a traditional game of Nepal. Everything runs in this browser, nothing is sent anywhere.
