Fox and geese

Fox and geese is a board game where one player is the fox and tries to eat the geese, and the other is the geese and attempts to trap the fox.

The fox is placed in the middle of the board, 13 geese are on one side of the board. The fox and geese can move to any empty space around them (also diagonally). The fox can jump over geese like in checkers, capturing them. Repeated jumps are possible. This capture in difference to checkers is not mandatory. The geese win, if they surround the fox, so that it doesn't have any moves left. The fox wins, if it captures enough geese, so that the remaining geese can't surround it anymore. Game variants with 15 and 17 geese are also possible.
