Rimau-rimau

Rimau-rimau is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Malaysia belonging to the hunt game family, a group of board games that also includes bagh-chal, main tapal empat, aadu puli attam and the fox games, in which a small number of hunter pieces try to capture a larger group of prey pieces on a shared board. Its name comes from the Malay word rimau, tiger, given here in a plural form meaning tigers, opposed by orang-orang, or men. The game is played on a modified alquerque board flanked by triangular sections called gunung, meaning mountain, and pits two black tiger pieces against a larger force of white men pieces, numbering either twenty-two or twenty-four depending on which of the game's two recognized versions is played. The tigers win by capturing men in leaps over odd-numbered lines of pieces, while the men try to immobilize both tigers before that happens.
