	Description Edit \| History

This cute little game is about Indians trying to keep the village from being overrun by buffalo. One player is the Indian chief with his dogs while the other player is a herd of rampaging buffalo, all well represented by nice little wooden pieces. Each side has its own style of play as the pieces move differently.

The Lakeside version (Trespass) of this game is one of a series of 2 player strategy games by Lakeside from the 1970s
