No seriously. I have an obsession with this game. Ask anybody. So basically it's a super simple premise for a crazy complex game. There are two players in this board game. One player controls four tigers. Another controls twenty goats. Already you gotta be saying "Wait, who the hell would want to be the goats in a fight against tigers?" But you're already too far, because I haven't explained how this game works. The game works on a diagonal grid system, where pieces can only be on line intersections. The tigers start in the four corners. The goat guy places a goat on the board one at a time, anywhere he wants. The tiger guy then moves a tiger. The goats get eaten by a tiger "jumping" it, kind of like checkers. Once a goat is eaten, it's gone. This can happen as soon as the first turn. Once the goats are all eaten, the tigers win.

But wait, you say, referring back to your original question, "Who would want to fight tigers as goats?" I would. I prefer being the goats. The goats win by trapping the tigers from making any moves. Easier said than done, but I like the challenge. Just the very thought of a board game where fundamentally each player is playing a completely different game is awesome to me, I suppose. Oh yeah. And my set is awesome. Bronze goat and tiger statuettes rock. And that's my obsession with an ancient board game. Show Less <
