[pbmserv] What is the name of the game?



Hi all,

I'm looking for the name of a game that I only know the Swedish name for
which directly translates to Foxgame.

The game board looks like this :

          +---------+
          |F - O - F|        
          || \ | / ||              S = Sheep
          |O - O - O|
          || / | \ ||              F = Fox
   O - O - O - O - O - O - O 
   | \ | / | \ | / | \ | / |       O = Not vacant slot
   S - S - S - S - S - S - S 
   | / | \ | / | \ | / | \ |
   S - S - S - S - S - S - S 
           | \ | / |
           S - S - S         
           | / | \ |
           S - S - S         

The goal for the one playing the Sheeps is to fill the 9 holes in the
top of the cross and the goal for the one playing the Foxes is to make
sure the Sheep player can't.

The foxes removes sheeps from the board by jumping over them and the
sheeps removes the foxes by getting them cornered so they can't move at
all. 

There are some more details about the rules of this game but does anyone
recognize it and can give me it's English name?

Cheers,

juman
