This is a traditional form of hunt game that almost uniformly uses three pieces versus one. The three yellow pieces cannot move in the backward directions (northwards). They must try to stalemate the red piece. Neither side can capture. Red (the dog or fox) must try to get behind the yellow hares. Note that the hare party loses if position is repeated three times. Win is achieved when the dog reaches the apex, or before.
