Bagh Chal Rules

Bagh Chal is a true hunt, Nepali style. Two players, different strengths, but different goals too. One plays 4 tigers, the other plays 20 goats. A 5×5 grid: when the goats are brought onto the board, the tiger chases them and tries to jump over a goat if there’s an empty spot behind it, and that’s how it eats the goat. To win, the tigers need to eat five goats, or the goats need to trap all the tigers so they can’t move. The tigers’ strength is speed, and the goats’ strength is sticking together.

Hit play, and you’ll learn fast. And to keep the Bagh Chal rules handy, download the printable guide and print it out. It has tips for both the tigers and the goats.
