Default Bagh Chal (aka "Tigers and Goats")

Does anyone reading this know of a game called Bagh Chal (Tigers and Goats in English)? It is the national game of Nepal.

I played it when I was in Nepal and Ive been playing it a fair bit lately with a friend on a board I drew up myself...

It is a complicated strategy game but I can see that being a chess player I have a distinct advantage over non chessplayers...

Three questions:

1. Where can I buy a proper set??? Do I have to go back to Nepal to get one???

2. Can anyone find a site where I can play this game online?

3. Can anyone find anything about the strategy or "openings" of the game?

Ive worked out some of the basic strategy I think - but Id like to see if Ive got it right or if Ive got it all wrong... Id really like to test myself against good players who have played the game for years - if anyone is in this boat, please contact me asap!
