Hat diviyan keliya is a two-player abstract strategy game from Sri Lanka. It is a Leopard hunt game (or Leopard game). One tiger is going up against seven leopards. The leopards attempt to surround and trap the tiger while the tiger attempts to capture enough of them (usually 4) so that the leopards can not immobilize the tiger. It is unknown how old the game is, however, the game was published in 1873. There is a very similar game played in Thailand called Len Choa. The only difference is that there are six leopards only.
