Put on your shepherd's hat and grab your staff!You compete for the largest flock of sheep, but watch out for the sly wolves! Every move counts, so plan your route strategically and collect more woolly friends than your opponents. Don't be fooled by their innocent look; some sheep are not as friendly as they seem! Are you ready to embark on the baa-rilliant adventure of a lifetime? Let’s herd 'em up!
In this take-that card game designed for 2-6 players, the objective is to capture as many sheep as possible before your rivals do. During each turn, players move from one card to an adjacent one and collect it, gradually shrinking the playing field and reducing opportunities to outmaneuver opponents. Players can also use special action cards to leap over cards, traverse from one side of the field to the other, or block an opponent's move. The game concludes when only one player remains in the meadow. Can you strategically think ahead and predict your opponents' moves?
The mighty castles and sprawling cities of Rokugan are merely tiny islands of civilization in the vast wilderness that surrounds and envelops the Emerald Empire. From the dark and haunted depths of the Shinomen Mori forest to the sharp and icy peaks of the Great Wall of the North mountains, these ancient and wild lands hold countless dangers for the unwary. Only the wise samurai of the Dragon Clan embrace their writ to live in the wilds, and create the bridge between this world and civilization.
