Fox
and
Geese.
This
old-fashioned
game
is
played
on
a
solitaire
board.
Seventeen
geese
occupy
the
upper
part
of
the
board
lines,
with
the
fox
in
the
middle,
thus:

The
object
of
the
game
is
to
confine
the
fox
in
a
corner,
so
that
he
cannot
move.
The
geese
march
forward
in
straight
lines,
not
on
the
diagonals;
and
whenever
a
goose
is
on
the
spot
next
the
fox,
the
latter
can
take
him,
as
in
draughts,
by
jumping
over
to
the
vacant
spot
beyond.
The
fox
can
move
backwards,
forwards,
or
sideways
on
the
straight
lines;
but
the
geese
must
go
forward,
and
are
not
allowed
to
retreat.
Properly
played,
the
geese
must
win;
but
when
the
number
of
geese
is
reduced
to
six,
it
is
impossible
for
them
to
confine
the
fox.
There
are
several
ways
of
playing
the
game,
by
placing
the
fox
and
geese
in
other
positions,
or
by
insisting
on
the
fox
catching
all
the
geese.
In
the
latter
case,
the
fox
chooses
his
own
starting
place.
The
game
may
also
be
played
with
eight
geese
and
a
fox.
