Bagh Guti

2 players · 15 min

There is a large and varied class of hunt games, called tiger games, from south east Asia. They are all played on square boards, and feature one or more tigers against a number of hunters.

Bagh guti is one such game, and it comes from India. Its antiquity is unknown; western accounts of the game date from 1906. It is particularly interesting as, unlike many other games of this type, multiple pieces are initially stacked upon a point.
