BaghChal - Asymmetric strategy fun

Following the tremendous success of our Bead 16 game, which garnered over 5 million downloads, we are now excited to introduce the Goats and Tigers Game. This game features an asymmetrical setup where one player takes control of the tigers while the other manages the goats. BaghChal is a widely recognized and celebrated board game throughout South-East Asia.

This Tiger and Goat game is also referred to as Puli-Meka in Telugu and Adu-Huli (Huli Ghatta) in Kannada. The asymmetry here allows for one player to command tigers and the other to lead goats.

Our free Align it - Goats & Tigers game includes:

- A single-player Aadupuli Aattam mode (play against the computer)

- Three distinct boards to choose from

- Three difficulty levels in the single-player experience

- An online BaghChal mode (connect and interact with friends and players globally)

- Emoji chat feature

- A two-player mode (Multiplayer Tiger Trap Game)

- Game statistics and a leader board

BaghChal is a unique strategy game that introduces imbalanced abilities for the Goats and Tigers on the playing field. The Tigers possess the power to capture and remove goats while the Goats use their numbers strategically to trap the tigers.

Experience the Aadupuli Aattam Game with smooth controls and vibrant graphics. You can select either Tiger or Goat in the single-player format. In the multiplayer and online variant, you have the option to chat and play with friends and family or engage with random opponents worldwide.

We are diligently working to enhance this game, so we appreciate any input that can help us refine the experience. Keep enjoying Align it!

A Masterful Revival of Ancient Strategic Dueling

Having immersed myself in numerous digital board games, Goats and Tigers stands apart as a fiercely intelligent and culturally rich experience. This modern adaptation of BaghChal (or Aadupuli Aattam) masterfully balances simplicity and depth, thrusting you into an asymmetrical battle of wits where every move crackles with tension. What truly captivates is the elegant duality: as the tiger, I felt the predatory thrill of stalking goats across the board, executing calculated leaps to thin the herd—each successful pounce delivering visceral satisfaction. Conversely, commanding the goats demanded patience and spatial cunning, gradually tightening invisible nets to immobilize the prowling tigers through sheer numbers and positioning.

The inclusion of three distinct boards and AI difficulty levels transforms single-player into a robust training ground. Against higher-level AI, games become cerebral chess matches—I’d lean in, tracing potential trap patterns with my finger, exhilarated when a risky goat maneuver paid off. Multiplayer, however, is where the game truly shines. Local play sparks intense face-to-face showdowns filled with gasps and grins, while the online mode’s emoji chat lets you savor victories or groan at narrow losses with friends or global rivals. Vibrant visuals and intuitive controls ensure focus stays on strategy—no cluttered menus or gimmicks distract from the board’s hypnotic pull.

Beyond sheer tactical pleasure, the game honors its heritage. Its authentic implementation preserves BaghChal’s centuries-old essence while adding modern conveniences like leaderboards and statistics to track your evolving mastery. Whether dueling in Telugu-named Puli-Meka or Kannada’s Huli Ghatta, the cultural resonance deepens every match. This isn’t just another mobile strategy game; it’s a vibrant, living tribute to a timeless design, brilliantly revitalized for today’s players. For anyone craving profound, quick-to-learn yet infinitely replayable duels, Goats and Tigers is essential—a testament to careful development and strategic artistry.
