The Game of Sheep. Players represent shepherds in the village of Cileson trying to keep their unruly sheep in order for it is shearing day. Unfortunately, the sheep have escaped and scattered together all over the village green. With the help of Benny the Village Dog the players try to be the first to collect back 6 sheep of the same color in order to turn them over to Tim the Shearer. But Tim gets impatient when he has nothing to shear and may cause players to take negative points. The mechanisms are exchanging cards with a common supply of cards on the table as well as play of special cards to completely reset the common supply or force others to take negative points. The key challenges are to discover what color each other player is collecting and deciding which color to collect oneself. Play several hands to determine an overall winner.
