Aadu Huli

Tiger & Goats

One of the oldest strategy games still played in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. Carved into temple floors. Played under trees. Now in your hands.

3 tigers hunt. 15 goats resist. One board decides everything.

29 positions. Infinite possibilities.

The board is a network of connected points. Pieces move along the lines — not diagonally, not freely. Every connection matters.

Tigers start here — already in position, already hunting. Goats begin in your hand. You place them one by one.
