Fox and geese has many names. So too does fox and hen or Hala Tafl . The game has been widespread in South Asia for many centuries. From other sources, we know that around the year 1000 AD, the game was spread throughout Europe by Icelandic Vikings. The first records of “hunting and board games” can be found from the 13th century. For example, in the “Great Book of Games”, which Alfonso X, King of Léon and Castile (1251 - 1282 AD), had written.
In the game Fox and geese, one player moves the fox and the other player tries to protect his 13 geese. However, the fox wants to eat them. Due to the imbalance, this board game is again something for strategists.
Solo halma, solitaire can also be played on this playing field
Our board games are branded onto leather, making them long-lasting. And for transportation, the game packs itself almost by itself. The only thing you have to do: press the game lightly down in the middle of the playing field with a finger, now pull on the string and the game has packed itself. It should stay that way for transportation. So now all you have to do is push the bead up to the bag that has just formed and the game is ready to go. The games can be used in this way on hikes, on bike tours, in the car or even on long flights. The games are packed so small that the pocket of a jacket is enough to take this pleasant form of entertainment with you.
