Play fox and geese online for free on Classic Play Games. This classic asymmetric hunt game pits one fox against a flock of geese — the fox tries to capture or evade the geese, while the geese work together to surround and trap the fox. Play against the AI or challenge a friend in two-player mode. No account or download needed — start playing instantly in your browser.
Fox and Geese is asymmetric: one player controls a single fox, the other controls a flock of geese. All pieces sit on a cross-shaped board and move along marked lines to adjacent points.
The fox can capture geese by jumping over them onto an empty square beyond, like checkers. The geese cannot capture — they win by surrounding the fox so it has no legal move. The fox wins by capturing enough geese that they can no longer trap it.
Easier AI levels mishandle the asymmetric balance — fox AIs leave themselves trappable, geese AIs leave gaps for the fox. Stronger settings press their respective advantages and force you to play tighter.
Local two-player mode lets you and a friend share one phone, tablet, or laptop. Decide who plays the fox and who plays the geese, then alternate turns.

The two sides have different goals and powers, so the game's appeal is the asymmetry rather than perfect balance. With careful play, the geese have a small theoretical edge, but in practice the fox is more forgiving for casual play.
