The game is played on a five by five point grid, like checkers. 
Pieces are positioned at the intersection of the lines. Directions of valid movement between these points are connected by lines. The game play takes place in two phases. In the first phase the goats are placed on the board while the tigers are moved. In the second phase both the goats and the tigers are moved. For the tigers, the objective is to "capture" five goats to win. Capturing is performed by jumping over the goats. The goats win by blocking all the tigers' legal moves.
Rules
- At the start of the game all the four tigers are placed on the four corners of the grid, facing the center. All goats start off the board.
- The pieces must be put at the intersections of the board lines and moves follow these lines
- The player controlling the goats moves first by placing a goat onto a free intersection on the board. Then it is the tiger's turn. One tiger is then moved to an adjacent position along the lines that indicates the valid moves. Moves are alternated between players.
- Tigers capture goats by jumping over them to an adjacent free position (as in checkers). Goats cannot move until all 20 have been put on the board.
The tiger must move according to these rules: - They can only start capturing goats any moment after the match has started.
- They can capture only one goat at a time.
- They can jump over a goat in any direction, but it must be to an adjacent intersection an adjacent intersection following any of the lines drawn on the board.
- A tiger cannot jump over another tiger.
The goat must move according to these rules: - They must leave the board when captured.
- They can not jump over the tigers or other goats.
- They can only move after all 20 have been put on the board.
Win - The tigers win once they have captured five goats.
- Goats try to avoid being captured (jumped over) and they win by blocking the tigers' moves till they are unable to move.
