The lambs and tigers game, locally referred as the game of goats and tigers (Telugu: Puli-mē̃ka āṭa, Tamil: Āḍu-puli āṭṭam, Kannada: Āḍu-huli āṭa), is a strategic, two-player (or 2 teams) leopard hunt game that is played in south India. The game is asymmetric in that one player controls three tigers and the other player controls up to 15 lambs/goats. The tigers 'hunt' the goats while the goats attempt to block the tigers' movements.[1]

Trivia

  • This is the ancient game played in the southern part of India, especially in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and the Telugu states.
  • The board is drawn on the parapet inside the mahadwara of the Chamundeshwari temple atop Chamundi Betta (hill) in Mysore, Karnataka
  • This game helps people to develop strategy and the concept of teamwork by teaching that even though weak, if united, one can vanquish the stronger enemy as a team.
  • This game is very similar to the Nepali game of bagh-chal.
