Hounded

Hounded is a two-player, asymmetrical strategy game where one player embodies the cunning Fox, and the other assumes the role of the relentless Master of Hounds commanding a diverse pack. Set on a 7×7 grid of face-down tiles, the Fox aims to outwit the hunter by revealing three specific time tiles or uncovering 43 tiles without capture. Conversely, the hunter seeks to corner the Fox or force proximity to the Master. Each canine in the pack possesses unique movement abilities, adding layers of tactical depth. Educationally, Hounded enhances strategic planning, spatial reasoning, and adaptive thinking, offering a compact yet intellectually stimulating experience.
