Here's the board (which bears only a slight resemblance to one I'd seen on
the Web):
+---------------+
| HORN $ |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+
|L W| | $ | $ | |R W|
+E-I+--CHEST+---+---+I-I+
|F N| | | | |G N|
+T-G+---+---+---+---+H-G+
| | | | | |T |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| LEGS| | |
+---+---+---+---+
There are three tigers and fifteen goats.
The tigers' goal is to eat all the goats and remain mobile.
It seems that the initial tiger positions are: one on the horn, and one
each on CHEST-2 and CHEST-3 (see $ marks, above).
The goats' goal is to block the tigers from moving.
The goats are placed one by one.
Tigers appear only to be able to move orthogonally (up/down/left/right) -
although they can use the horn to whizz across the chest (e.g. CHEST-1 to
HORN, HORN to CHEST-4, in two moves).
The rest of the rules are beyond me, I'm afraid. It's not clear how tigers
eat goats or how goats block tigers.
