বাঘ-ছাগল (Bagh-Chagol): the tiger and goats board game

Bagh-Chagol is a traditional hunt game from rural Bengal. One side plays the tiger, the other a herd of goats. The tiger moves along the lines of the board and captures a goat by jumping over it onto the empty point behind. The goats cannot capture: they win by surrounding the tiger so it has no legal move.

Play against an AI that taught itself

The computer opponent was trained with self-play reinforcement learning in the style of AlphaZero: a neural network and Monte Carlo tree search, learning only from games against itself. It runs entirely in your browser. Choose easy, medium or hard.
