*Once all the tigers are in place, the game begins and pieces can be moved in alternating turns along straight lines on the grid, or in the case of the tiger, by jumping over a lamb piece to capture it.
*The player playing as the lamb cannot move his/her pieces until all of them have been placed on the grid.Winning
The game is considered won when either the lambs have encircled the tigers in such a way as to prevent them from moving, or when the tigers have captured all of the lambs.
