About

Baghra

Read full description

Baghra is Bagh-Chal – Nepal's traditional "Tigers and Goats": an asymmetric strategy game, done beautifully and fairly. Four tigers hunt on a 5Ɨ5 line grid, capturing goats by jumping them (as in checkers). Twenty goats have one goal: hem the tigers in until none can move. Learn the rules in a minute – the games run deep. ONE GAME, DONE RIGHT • Ad-free. No subscription. No tracking. No timers. • A fair, tiered AI: easy, medium, hard. • Play as the tigers or the goats – or two players on one device (hot-seat). • Interactive tutorial: placing, jumping, trapping – step by step. • Handsome board themes, haptics and sound, full VoiceOver support. TWO PHASES First the goats place 20 pieces (one per turn) while the tigers already move and capture. Then both sides slide along the lines. Tigers win by capturing five goats; goats win by blocking every tiger. Bagh-Chal is a centuries-old Himalayan game. Baghra brings it to your iPhone in a calm, ad-free form.
