Four tigers start on the corners; twenty goats start in hand. Goats move first.
Placing: each goat turn puts one goat on any empty point. Tigers move on their turns: step to a neighbouring empty point along a line, or jump over a neighbouring goat along a line to the empty point directly beyond, taking it. One jump per turn, no chains.
Moving: once all twenty goats are placed, goats step to a neighbouring empty point along a line.
Lines run up, down and across everywhere; diagonals only pass through the points where a diagonal is drawn. Tigers win at five goats taken; goats win when no tiger can move or jump. The same position three times, or fifty moves each without a goat placed or taken, is a draw.
Pieces you can move are ringed; dots show where. Undo takes back your last turn. Games save automatically — leave and pick up later.
This is the 5×5 form, known as Bagh-Chal in Nepal and Puli Meka in Andhra. The triangular Aadu Puli Attam board is a variant for later.
