Hare and Hounds

 

The game is courtesy www.mazeworks.com and Robert Kirkland.

A hunter assisted by three hounds is out to trap - leave with no move - a hare. All animals may move between connected cells. Hare is allowed to move in any available direction; hounds can't move to the left. When it's your turn, drag the animal you impersonate to the desired cell - one animal at every move.
