English Strategy Board Game: "Fox and Geese"

Fox and Geese is a game played between two players, one of whom is the fox, the other has control of the geese. The object of the game is for the geese to hem the fox in so that he cannot move. The objective of the fox, on the other hand, is to capture geese until it becomes impossible for them to trap him. The fox starts in the middle of the board.

  The game became popular in Britain in the 1300s, probably having evolved from earlier northern European chase games. The Tudor era continued to enjoy the game. In the 1600s, new rules to the game were introduced making it popular during the English Civil War. More militarily-oriented games evolving from Fox and Geese appeared during the Napoleonic Wars of the eighteenth century.
