Bagh Chal is a 1000-year-old traditional board game from Nepal. In the past, people carved the 5x5 grid board on sand or stone and used pebbles as game pieces. The game's theme is about tigers hunting stray animals. You can control either a herd of 20 goats or a pack of 4 tigers. The goal is to either corner all the tigers or have the tigers devour 5 goats. It's for 2 players, takes about 20 minutes, and is suitable for ages 6 and up.
To play Bagh Chal, you and another player each choose to control either the 20 goats or the 4 tigers. The person with the goats tries to corner all the tigers, while the tiger - controller aims to eat 5 goats. It's a 2 - player game that usually takes around 20 minutes and is great for kids aged 6 and above. When setting up, remember you can imagine the 5x5 grid board just like it was originally carved on sand or stone, and use pebbles as pieces if you don't have the official ones. As for maintenance, keep your game pieces in a dry place to prevent damage. And have fun playing this ancient Nepalese game!
