Hat diviyan keliya is a two-player abstract strategy game from Sri Lanka (formerly called Ceylon). 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 so that the leopards can not trap it. The game was originally documented as Hatdiviyan or "Seven Leopards" by Leopold Ludovici in The Journal of the Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (1873), and specifically in the chapter entitled The Sports and Games of the Singhalese which he wrote himself, he provides a written description of the game and an illustration. The game was then documented by Henry Parker as Hat diviyan keliya in his work Ancient Ceylon: An Account of the Aborigines and of Part of the Early Civilisation (1909), and he transcribed its name as The Game of the Seven Leopards. Parker provides a written description of the game, but not a diagram. He does however reference Ludovici as a source for the game which included a diagram. Parker actually misspells Ludovici's last name as Ludovisi. The game is also described by the Czech language website Klub přátel deskových her which refers to it as Sedm pardálů which when translated into English means seven panthers (or seven leopards), and references Miloš Zapletal work Špalíček her (1988). The website describes two variants of the game, the one described by Ludovici and Parker and another one with a slightly larger board (consisting of an extra row of three intersection points) with two tigers and eight leopards. There may be a very similar game played in Thailand called Len Choa played with six leopards, but as there was no illustration of the board provided in the original documentation of Len Choa, and the written description of Len Choa is vague, it is therefore uncertain if the boards are the same. The following setup and rules are based upon Leopold Ludovici's description of the game.
