Fox game
From Wiki @ Karl Jones dot com
A fox game (wolf game, etc.) is any of a family of board games for two players, where one player is the fox and tries to eat the geese/sheep, and the opposing player directs the geese/sheep and attempts to trap the fox, or reach a destination on the board.
In another variant, Fox and Hounds, the fox merely tries to evade the hounds.
