Fox and Geese Game Instructions

2 players

 

 


 

The object of the game is for the geese to pen up both foxes so they cannot move, or for the foxes to capture 12 of the geese.


Fox and Geese layout

Two persons play the game; one has the foxes and the other the geese. A fox moves first and then a goose, each player making one move at a time.

The foxes may move forward, backward, diagonally, or toward the side and may capture the geese by jumping over them (as would a King in checkers) when a hole beyond a goose is empty.  The foxes are not required to jump but may move to another hole of one is open.  The move or jump must be made on each turn. The geese may move only forward or side wise, one hole at a time, and are not permitted to jump a fox, but instead try to pen him up so he cannot move or jump.
