In this game you are the sheep farm owner, you have 9 sheep and need to protect them from the hungry wolves. Unfortunately it is impossible that you can help all sheep in your farm. The wolve are too many. However you can try your best to help your sheep by just simply send your shepherd (1 cube) to expel wolve from your farm to other farm instead. Of course no one can easily accept the wolve into their farm so each player may sent more shepherd (a cube) to expel until someone decide to take wolve (and to lost the specific sheep in their farm) but that player will earn all shepherd (cubes)in center pile.
Each sheep will has different victory points at the game end but you can have victory point if only you have shepherd (a cube) at the game end to match with each sheep in your farm. There are some more way to score the victory points at the game end but you need to have enough shepherd (cubes), sheeps and some special action token with some condition to earn victory points.
Challenging fun bidding game where most of the time are about bid to avoid the wolves hunting. But some time you have to bid for earning the special action token which can help you evacuate the sheep, steal shepherd (cubes), score special bonus victory points at the game end, etc.
Game is disigned to have 3 moments where situation could be swing and make it more challenge for player to optimize between Sheeps and Shepherd (cubes) in hand.
