Len Choa is a two-player abstract strategy game
observed in 19th-century Thailand (formerly called
Siam). It is a Leopard hunt game (or Leopard game).
One tiger is going up against six leopards. The
leopards attempt to surround and trap the tiger
while the tiger attempts to capture enough of them
(usually 3) so that the leopards can not immobilize the
tiger. It is unknown how old the game is
1. Players decide what animal to play. Players
alternate their turns throughout the game. The
board is empty in the beginning with the exception to
the tiger piece which is placed on the top vertex of
the triangle (the top vertex is the corner of the
triangle where the vertical line running down the
length of the triangle dissects it).
2. The Leopards start first. All six leopard pieces
must be dropped first before any of them can be
moved. Only one leopard piece can be dropped per
turn, and they are dropped onto any vacant point on
the board during the Leopard's turn.
3. The Tiger on its turn may either move the tiger one
space onto a vacant point following the pattern on
the board, or use it to capture a leopard piece.
After all the leopards have been dropped, a leopard
can move one space per turn onto a vacant point
following the pattern on the board. Only one leopard
may be moved per turn. Unlike the tiger, leopards can
not capture.
4. The tiger captures a leopard by the short leap as
in draughts. The tiger must be adjacent to the
leopard, and leap over it onto a vacant point on the
other side following the pattern on the board. Only
one capture is allowed per turn. Captures are not
compulsory
