Fox games
Fox games are a category of board games for two players, where one player is the fox and tries to eat the geese/sheep, and the opposing player directs the geese/sheep and attempts to trap the fox, or reach a destination on the board. In another variant, ''Fox and Hounds'', the fox merely tries to evade the hounds. There are several versions known: in Britain (''Fox and geese''), France (''Renard et les poules''), Italy (''Lupo e pecore''), Germany (''Fuchs und Gänse''), Netherlands (''Schaap en wolf''), Sweden (''Rävspel''), Iceland (''Refskak''), Slovakia (''Vlci a ovce''), Russia (''Volk i ovtsy''/''Wolf and sheep'') and Nepal (''Bagh-Chal'').〔Murray 1951, p.101.〕
==History==
The game ''Halatafl'' is known from at least as early as the 14th century, and it is mentioned in Grettis saga. It probably originated in Scandinavia, as a variant of Tafl. In fact, Halatafl is still played in Scandinavia with rules similar to Tafl; see below. Edward IV of England is known to have purchased two foxes and 26 hounds to form two sets of ''Marelles'', believed to be Fox and Hounds.〔Redstone, V. B. "England among the Wars of the Roses" qtd in Murray 1951, p.102.〕 As Fox and Geese, the game was a favorite pastime of Queen Victoria.〔Sackson 1991, p.10.〕
