Wooden Goats and Tigers

Intricately carved traditional Goats and Tigers game board by the woodcraft artisans of Saharanpur in UP. The natural grains of wood are quiet evidence of our obsession for quality. History: This board game is played in south India. Adu Huli or Goats and Tigers was once a very popular game as we find this game pattern etched on stone floors of many old and ancient temples. The above game pattern is found on the parapet inside the mahadwara of the Chamundeshwari temple atop Chamundi Betta (hill) in Mysuru. How to play: Goats and Tigers Game is a turn-based, strategic, two-player (or 2 teams) board game. The tigers hunt the goats and the goats attempt to block the movement of the tigers. Goal: The objective of the tiger is to hunt 5 or more goats and that of the goats is to surround and immobilize all the three tigers. Benefits: This helps develop strategy and concept of team work by teaching that even though weak, if united, one can vanquish the stronger enemy as a team.
