How to play

  1. Only the dark squares are used. Four hounds start on the top edge, the fox at the bottom.
  2. The fox moves one square diagonally, forwards or backwards.
  3. A hound moves one square diagonally forward only. Nothing is ever captured.
  4. The fox wins by reaching the top edge; the hounds win by trapping it so it can't move.
  5. With perfect play the hounds win: the fox needs the hounds to slip.
