Sheep Wars: The Tile-Laying and Bluffing Game
Who said a shepherd's life was easy?
The Battle Sheep is a clever tile-placement game where discretion is your best weapon. Each player secretly receives a sheep color. Your goal? Create the largest enclosed pasture containing sheep of your color. But beware: if you reveal your intentions too early, your opponents will be delighted to place a wolf near your sheep or block your expansion!
The Concept? Like a giant domino game, you assemble tiles to match landscapes (villages, forests, enclosures). You can choose to reveal your color at any time to gain a bonus, or remain hidden to sabotage opponent's enclosures.
Why The Battle Sheep is a must-have for your game collection:
-
Identity Bluff: This is the essence of the game. Pretending to play red sheep when you are blue allows you to direct others' attacks towards the wrong targets.
-
The Wolf and the Hunter: A simple but formidable mechanic. Place a wolf in a forest adjacent to an opponent's enclosure to cancel it. Unless a player has a hunter to protect their animals!
-
A Visual Evolution: At the end of the game, the table is covered with a magnificent pastoral landscape. It's rewarding to contemplate your domain (especially if it's full of sheep!).
-
Fast and Tense Games: The rules can be learned in 2 minutes, but winning requires real spatial vision and a good sense of observation.
