Rules A square, with lines bisecting the sides drawn to the center. A circle is drawn around the central point. arcs are drawn inside the square around the midpoints of the sides and the corners. Diagonals are drawn from the corner arcs to the central circle. One player plays as the hare, one player plays as the hunter and two hounds. The hare begins on the central spot, and the hunter and hounds are placed on three of the points on the central circle. Pieces move to an empty adjacent spot along the lines of the board. The hare moves first. When the hunter and hounds prevent the hare from being able to move, the game ends and the players switch roles.
Content Rules presented by Maria Argyriadi, citing Kostas Karapataki's work Η Μανα και το Παιδι ("Mother and Child"), from Grevena, Greece: "The board game 'Chasing the hare', which is considered a game of mental ability, was played by two children sitting opposite each other, on the board with four corners (stones, beans, or illustrated cards) that corresponded to the hunter, the two dogs and the hare. Th child with the hare put his counter at the centre of the circle marked on the cardboard board and the child with the counters of the hunter and dogs placed them on three different black points in the first circle. The game commenced with moving the hare to one of the free black points in the circle. The counters of the hunter and the dogs were then moved in turn to black points on the circles, in an effort to trap the hare in one of the 'lairs', so that it cannot escape. If the opponent succeeded in doing so the game ended and was began again ,reversing the roles. Argyriadi 1997: 93-94.
