Anybody here good at the game of Fox and Geese? Total beginner wonders how a game is ever anything but a draw. Seems too easy for either side to force the draw.
I think one of the Winning Ways (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0120911027/102-9551075-3836957?vi=glance) books had a section on it. Not sure now - it's been a while since I read them.
How do you draw a game, anyway? It's monotonic wrt the geese, innit?
If there is a boat involved, then I see it as a puzzle, not a game, and not needing any physical playing pieces. The goal is for everyone to come out alive.
