Tiger and Cattle

Tagnor is a traditional Bhutanese board game, where a board with lines are filled with pellets representing cattle and two large tokens representation tigers. As the players make a move like chess, the tigers find opportunities to kill the cattle by jumping over pellets, as in Chinese checkers. If the tigers cannot move as a result of shrewd moves from the cattle, the cattle win but if the tiger kills all the cattle through intelligent moves, the tiger wins. The game can be played with minimal preparation by drawing the board lines on any surface and often involves a great deal of thinking.
