About the game

What is Sheep & Thief?

Breed some sheep, and watch them prosper, but watch out for those shifty sheep thieves. This is a drafting type game. Players can play sheep cards to add sheep to the board, or play the sheepdog card to herd the sheep into their pens. Once they are in the pens they are safe. If a thief card is played the thieves will move, if the encounter a sheep they will steal the sheep.
