Catch The Fox
Read full descriptionHide full description
Catch The Fox played by two opponents, on opposite sides of a board, alternating moves. The fox moves forward and backward (diagonally) and needs to reach opposite side. The dogs can move only forward and need to corner the fox. Pieces are moved by first selecting (tap) the piece to move and then selecting (tap) the cell to move to. If there is only one available move for selected piece, it will move by automatically (no second tap needed). Alternatively you can tap on the destination without selecting the piece (if only one piece can reach it). Normally blocks are black, however blocks current player can move to are colored in dark green. Selected piece is marked by bright green border.
