Wild Goose Chase is a simple chase game in which the object is (surprise!) to capture the wild goose. Unless you are the wild goose, in which case the object is not to get captured.
 
Tame geese move one orthogonal step.
 
The wild goose moves like a Queen except that it can fly off the board in any direction and reemerge on the other side of the board.
 
You have 15 moves to capture the wild goose. The wild goose wins if it eludes capture. The loser is supper.
 
In the variant, there is no move limit and the chase can continue indefinitely (hardly fair for the wild goose).
 
Wild Goose Chase is the latest in a series of 5x5 games centered around that great abstract concept - the duck (or permutations such as geese). Other games in the series include Duck Pond, Ugly Duck, and Duck Solo. Each game is intended to explore a different fundamental game type, such as alignment (Duck Pond), attainment (Ugly Duck), solitaire (Duck Solo), or chase (Wild Goose Chase). With the rich vein that has been tapped here, other games are sure to follow.
