Bagh Chal - Tigers & Goats

🐅 Four tigers against twenty goats on the old Alquerque board. Two sides, two completely different games, one board.

Bagh Chal is the national board game of Nepal, and it is not symmetric: the tigers hunt and the goats surround. You can play either side.

🐅 FOUR TIGERS, 20 GOATS
The tigers win by eating 5 goats, jumping over them like draughts. The goats win without capturing anything: by blocking every tiger until none of them can move. Whoever you pick, you are playing a different game.

👉 TWO PHASES
First the goats are placed one by one while the tigers already move and hunt. When the last goat is down, the goats start moving too. The opening and the endgame do not feel the same at all.

🤖 SIX LEVELS OF COMPUTER
From a beginner that answers instantly to a master that thinks several moves ahead. And the computer has two brains, one per side: playing tigers and playing goats need different plans, so it does not use the same one for both. Keep winning and the game offers you a harder level - it never changes it behind your back.

👥 2 PLAYERS ON ONE PHONE
Pass the phone and play. No internet, no accounts, nobody to wait for.

📅 DAILY CHALLENGE
A new position every day, the same one for everybody: the tigers are already among your goats and you have to survive. Keep the streak and earn extra stars.

⭐ STARS AND BOARD PALETTES
Up to three stars per match, counted separately for each side. Four wood, earth and stone palettes unlocked with the stars you earn.

👆 MADE FOR THE THUMB
Tap a point and the goat lands there. Tap a tiger and it shows you where it can jump, with a cross on the goat it would eat. Undo when your finger slips, ask for a hint when you are stuck.
