Flock of Sheep társasjáték

Angol leírás

Ages 6+

A game where sheep leave their pen and then flock together. Your goal is to end up with the most sheep of your color.

There are two players, Black and White, and a 10x10 square board.

There are also 12 tiles (called "sheep") comprising 2 sets of reversible tiles with black sheep on one side and white sheep on the other, having Black: White ratios of {6:1, 5:2, 4:3, 3:4, 2:5, 1:6).

Setup

One set of tiles black-up and one set white-up alternate placing them out in a ring enclosing the 4 central squares of the board, forming a pen.

Movement
The game has two phases: 1) Dispersing from the pen, 2) Flocking together.

On a turn, Sheep move across empty spaces (orthogonally or diagonally) a distance of exactly 3, and if not forming a flock, they then flip over.

Black moves first. Turns then alternate.

1) Dispersing from the pen:
During the Dispersing phase, move sheep that have shared edges and corners. The Dispersing phase ends when no sheep are touching each other either at edges or corners.

2) Flocking together:
During this phase, the sheep may move next to one another. When they end up sharing more than a corner with other friendly sheep, they form a flock and are not required to complete the turn with a flip. Flocked sheep no longer move and may not be flipped.

It is not allowed to repeat board positions during play (for example by returning a piece that the other player just moved)

The game ends when all the sheep are in Flocks.
