Read the full game description
The Sheep is a cooperative comedy-horror game in which armed Shepherds escort the remnants of humanity through a countryside overrun by magically corrupted livestock. Day phases provide a brief chance to buy equipment, improve character boards, and plan around the next event. At night, new mutations and pollution effects drive hostile flocks across the hex map while every player resolves actions simultaneously. Success depends on coordinating movement, attacks, lanterns, upgrades, and caravan protection before corruption or casualties overwhelm the group.
