The '''Lambs and Tigers Game''' locally referred as the '''Game of Goats and Tigers''' ({{lang-ta|Aadu puli aatam}},<br />
{{lang-te|Meka puli aata}}, {{lang-kn|Aadu Huli aata}}) or '''Pulijudam''', is a strategic, two-player (or 2 teams) [[leopard hunt game]] that is played in south [[India]]. The game is asymmetric in that one player controls three tigers and the other player controls up to 15 lambs/goats. The tigers 'hunt' the goats while the goats attempt to block the tigers' movements.<br />
