Another
way
of
playing
this
game
is
on
an
ordinary
draughtboard,
with
four
white
men
for
the
geese,
and
a
black
king
for
the
fox.
The
geese
can
only
move
forward,
but
the
fox
moves
either
way.
The
object
of
the
geese
is
to
pen
up
the
fox
so
that
he
cannot
move;
the
object
of
the
fox
is
to
break
through
the
line
of
defence.
If
the
game
be
properly
played,
the
geese
must
win.
Place
them
on
the
draughtboard
thus:

The
secret
is
to
keep
the
geese
in
a
line.
The
fox
tries
to
prevent
this,
and
if
he
can
succeed
in
doubling
the
geese,
or
getting
one
to
stand
before
the
other,
he
is
nearly
sure
to
pass
through
them.

The
Royal
Game
of
Goose.
In
the
old
German
game
the
figure
of
a
goose
is
printed
on
a
large
sheet
of
paper,
and
divided
into
63
squares
or
divisions.
The
object
of
the
players,--any
number
of
whom
may
join
in
the
game--is
to
make
63
points
by
successive
throws
of
two
dice.
A
pool
is
made
by
equal
contributions
by
the
players,
the
first
of
whom
gaining
the
required
number
wins.
The
players
throw
alternately
and
add
each
individual
throw
to
that
already
made.
