(1) Placement of Bagh (Tiger) and Goat piece

Basically in Baghachal, goats and tigers are placed on the intersections (called rooms) of the lines on the board. Example illustration of where you can place the goat pieces

• Figure 1

The case of Figure 1 above, you can put the next goat piece in any of the intersections (rooms) marked with blue circle.

At the start of the game all the tigers are placed at the four corners of the board and it's goat's turn to place a piece on the board.

• Figure 2

(2) How to move Goat piece

A goat piece can moved to the adjacent empty intersection (room) in the direction of the line as illustrated in the figure.

• Examples of direction that can move Figure 3

The case of Figure 3 above, you can move the goat in the direction of the blue arrow. You can't replace existing pieces or jump over a tiger or other goat piece if it already exists on the adjacent rooms.

• Where goat can be or can not be moved Figure 4

The case of Figure 4 above, you will not be able to move the goat in the direction of red arrow but only in the direction of the blue arrow.

(3) How to move Bagh (Tiger) piece

Unlike goats the tiger can capture the goat pieces. Capturing is done by jumping over a goat piece in a straight line. Captured goat piece is removed from the board.

• Left - prior to capture, Right - after the capture, Figure 5

You can also jump to the direction of the diagonal line, to catch the goat.

• Left - prior to capture, Right - after the capture, Figure 6

However, if the jump go outside the board, or if it is not in a straight line, the jump does not meet in the direction of the line, the jump over 2 or more goats, the tiger player can not jump over goats in these situations.

• Left - The jump to go outside the board. Right - The jump is not along the direction, Figure 7

• Tigers can not jump over two goats or if there's a goat/tiger piece on the next room, Figure 8
