Wolf and Sheep
There are many alternate names: Fox and Hounds, Fox and Geese, Fox and Dogs, Wolf and Sheep, Hounds and Hare or Devil and Tailors.
The game is played on a chess board sized 8x8 starting with 4 black checkers (the wolves) on one side and a single white checker (the sheep) on the other side.
The wolves hunt the sheep. The sheep moves diagonally one field range forward or backward onto an empty adjacent square per turn. Wolves can only move diagonally one field forward onto an empty adjacent square.
Der er ikke mulighed for at slå modstanderens brikker ved at hoppe over dem og heller ikke muligt at stable brikkerne.
Fåret vinder ved at nå til den modsatte side af brættet. Ulvene vinder ved at blokere for fåret sådan at det ikke kan rykke mere.
A simple game to teach children (as it is actually done in schools).
