Fox and Hounds is a traditional British game that has been around since the 18th century. It is a game of strategy and cunning, where one player takes on the role of the fox and the other players take on the role of the hounds. The fox must try to outwit the hounds by using cunning and strategy to avoid capture. The hounds must work together to corner the fox and capture it. The term 'CANINES' is used to refer to both the fox and the hounds, as they are both members of the canine family.
