Anonymous, The Game of Deer Stalking (1835-1840)
“ The deer wins the game if he succeeds in crossing the water and getting into the mountainous country at top of game; the sportsmen win the game if they surround the deer and force him on to the dot at either of the two houses, or on either the two dots at the cone, or on the centre dot, so that he cannot escape. The deer moves first, and then each of the sportsmen, and the the deer again and so on. Neither the deer or sportsmen can be taken, and all can move either backwards or forwards, but only one move at a time. ”
