About

Baghchal Game

Read full description

Baghchal, also known as Tiger and Goats, is a two-player strategic board game played on a grid of 25 intersection points connected by straight and diagonal lines. One player controls four tigers, while the other controls 20 goats. At the start, the four tigers are already placed in the corners of the board, while the goats are introduced one by one onto empty points. During this initial phase, the goat player can only place goats; they cannot move them until all 20 goats have been placed. Tigers move one step at a time along the lines and can capture goats by jumping over them, similar to checkers. Once all goats are placed, the goat player can begin moving them one step at a time, working to surround the tigers. The goats win if they trap all four tigers so they cannot move. The tigers win if they successfully capture 5 goats, since with only 15 goats remaining, the goats cannot block all tiger movements. बाघचाल दुई जनाबीच खेलिने रणनीतिक खेल हो। यो खेल २५ वटा बिन्दु भएको बोर्डमा खेलिन्छ जसमा सीधा र तेर्सा रेखाहरू जोडिएका हुन्छन्। एक खेलाडीले चारवटा बाघ नियन्त्रण गर्छ भने अर्को खेलाडीले २० वटा बाख्रा नियन्त्रण गर्छ। खेल सुरु हुँदा बाघहरू बोर्डका चार कुनामा राखिएका हुन्छन् भने बाख्रा खेलाडीले बाख्राहरू एक–एक गरेर खाली बिन्दुमा राख्दै जान्छ। सुरुमा सबै २० वटा बाख्रा राखिसकुञ्जेल बाख्राहरू चलाउन पाइँदैन। बाघले एक पटकमा एक कदम मात्रै चाल्न सक्छ र बाख्रालाई फड्केर खान सक्छ। जब सबै बाख्रा बोर्डमा राखिन्छन्, त्यसपछि मात्र बाख्रा खेलाडीले बाख्राहरू चलाउन थाल्छन्। यदि बाख्राले चारै बाघलाई घेर्‍यो भने बाख्रा जित्छन्। तर यदि बाघले ५ वटा बाख्रा खाइदियो भने खेल सकिन्छ, किनभने बाँकी १५ बाख्राले अब बाघलाई रोक्न सक्दैनन्।
