I loved this game as a 2-player abstract. Players count up how many hexes they occupy, and the player with the most wins! In case of a tie, the player with the largest contiguous network of occupied hexes wins. Once everyone has moved as much as they can, the game is scored. If your sheep are trapped, and you have no legal moves, you simply pass on your chance to move and await the end of the game. This continues until all players have moved their sheep as much as they can. The next player then takes their turn, doing the same splitting and moving of a stack. The other part is moved, along a straight line, until it either hits the edge of the board (could also be an interior hex if there is a hole in the board) or another stack of sheep. One portion remains on the space on which it started.
On each turn, you must divide one of your sheep stacks into two portions (each having at least one sheep token). Once each player has placed their four board pieces to the board, then each player places their entire stack of 16 sheep tokens on an exterior hex.

It may be possible to have holes created on the board as players freely choose how to place their pieces. Each successive piece has to be adjacent to at least one other piece already on the board. To set up the board, players take turns placing a board piece on the table. Each board piece is a diamond shaped affair, made up of four individual hexes. Each player gets a stack of 16 sheep tokens as well as a 4 board pieces. The original game is a 2-player-only wooden game that my brother and I discovered at Essen 2010 after Bruno Cathala literally physically dragged us to the booth in the back corridor of hall 9 to play it.īattle Sheep is a more flexible version of the game, now playable by up to four players. Part of the reason why I put this game on the back burner was that it was a remake of an older game, Splits, which I still have. Times Played: 5, with review copy provided by Blue Orangeīattle Sheep is a game that has been on my radar since it was recommended for the Spiel Des Jahres in 2014.
