About the game

Ganoven Jagd ('Crook Hunt') has each player controlling 6 police officers and one robber. Your officers are trying to bring to justice the opponent's crook, whilst your fugitive is trying to elude the hunt. Although themed, this is really an abstract movement game with black and white pieces roving the squared grid.
