(A coordinate is a spot where two or more lines intersect). - A tiger may now move once space towards the goat in an effort to jump it. If the tiger can jump the goat in a straight line to a free space (in a move similar to chekcers), the goat is thereyby eliminated and removed from the board. - In each turn a goat is placed on the board until all the goats are in play (unless being jumped has already eliminated them). A goat cannot move around the baord until all the goats are in play. - A tiger can only move one space in each turn. A jump does nto entitle a tiger to another turn. A tiger can jump more than one goat in a single move, however, if it has the opportunity to do so. - Once all the goats are placed on the board, they are free to move. A goat can only move one space in a single turn. - If the tigers eliminate four goats, the tigers win. - If the goats are able to trap the tigers and prevent them from moving, while losing no more than three goats, the goats win the game.
