  Here goat has moved 15 goats and now 5 more goats to move still from this demo game.

  Step 7 >>

  Here is the condition where goat player had all 20 goats on the board and in which 3 goats are dead, so you see 17 goats on the board now. In next step you ll see the move of goat.

  This is on going condition of the same demo game.

  Step 8 >>

  Here you see a goat is moved and shown by green circle and an arrow, as now all the 20 goats are placed already and now the goat player can move any goat to any empty room near by it.

  After 20th goat placed on board, goat player is allowed to move any goat to the adjacent empty room.

  Step 9 >>

• 

  This is a "Win Condition" for Goat.

  As you see there is no any room for the tiger to move.

  When all the 4 tigers don't have any room to move, then Goat Wins. The position of tigers here are only for the demo to understand the condition.

  Step 10 >>
