Sher-bakar is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Punjab, India.
There are two tigers attempting to elude and capture as many of the other player's pieces which in other hunt games in this part of the world is often referred to as a goat, cows, lamb, or men.
There is no source that completely describes the movement of the goats or tigers for sher-bakar.
However, a similar game called Bagh bandi that is from Lower Bengal, India may provide us the answer.
Similarly, a tiger may be moved one space onto a vacant adjacent point following the pattern on the board.
A tiger can capture by the short leap as in draughts or alquerque.
The tiger leaps over the adjacent goat, and lands on a vacant point immediately beyond.
The leap must be in a straight line and follow the pattern on the board.
