Cows and Leopards is a traditional game from Sri Lanka and India for 2 players, where one plays with 2 leopards and another with 24 cows. Beginning with all tiles outside the board, the players take turns first placing the tiles inside and later moving them from one intersection to another. Every player has a different objective. The one with the leopards must capture all the cows jumping over them while the one with the cows attempts to immobilize the leopards.
This is one variant from a family of similar Asian games played with varying numbers of tigers/leopards/goats/cows/etc and varying board topologies. See also Bagh Chal.
