Rules of the game
- One player represents the three Hounds, which try to corner the other player's Hare as it seeks to win by escaping them.
- Each player can move one step in each turn. The Hounds can only move forward or diagonally (left to right) or vertically (up and down). The Hare can move in any direction.
- The Hounds win if they "trap" the Hare so it can no longer move.
- The Hare wins if it "escapes" (gets to the left of all the Hounds).
- If the Hounds move vertically ten moves in a row, they are considered to be "stalling" and the Hare wins.
Historical Note: Hare and Hounds originated in 19th century France, where it is said to have been popular with military officers during the Franco-Prussian War. The game is also known as the French Military Game.
