Hare and Hounds Online Board Game

This is an online version of the Hare and Hounds board game which invented in France in the 19th century. It was popular among French army officers during and after the Franco-Prussian war.

You play against the computer. Choose whether you want to be the hounds or the hare. Next choose which level you want to play - Easy, Intermediate or Difficult. On each turn, a single hound moves to a directly connected empty square, followed by the hare's similar move.

The hounds may only move vertically or forward (to the right), not backwards. The hare may move in any direction. To move a piece, drag and drop it with the mouse. There are no captures. The hounds win by trapping the hare so that he is unable to move. The hare can win two ways. He can escape, which he does by moving past (to the left of) all three hounds. Also, if the hounds move 10 times in a row without advancing (i.e. they only move up and down) then the hounds are stalling and the hare wins.
