Halatafl
A mobile adaptation of the asymmetric fox-and-geese board game, balancing one powerful fox against a coordinated group trying to trap it.
Halatafl is a game of inequality: one fox faces several geese. The geese cannot capture the fox, but they can use their numbers to hem it in until it has no legal move. The fox, in turn, captures geese until they can no longer complete the trap.
The geese begin on one arm of the board while the fox starts in the center, creating an asymmetric strategy challenge in a compact mobile format.
