Herd: Fleece Your Friends is a competitive card game where luck and skill are equal partners on the path to victory. So, grab your crook and let's go! In Herd, you are obsessed with one thing: creating the greatest herds in the land. Score points by acquiring geep, a half-goat half-sheep hybrid, and organizing them into herds. Protect your herds from marauding wolves, but if a wolf emerges from the hills you can send it to devour the herd of another player. Players are dealt a hand of three cards to start the game. During their turn, players begin by drawing a card from the draw pile. Four options are then available: Form a herd, play a wolf on another player's herd, play a specialty card, or allow the next player to go. A player scores points by forming herds using three geep cards of the appropriate colors. Herd: Fleece your Friends is played in rounds. A round ends after one of the players plays her last card and has nothing else in her hand. Other players have one final turn. At the end of the round, the point values of the player's herds are totaled and the point value of the cards remaining in the player's hand are subtracted from this total. This is the player's score for the round. The player with the highest total wins a victory token. The first player to collect three victory tokens is the winner of the game! —description from the publisher
