About this game
In Sauve Moutons you help the shepherd guiding his herd to the house on top of the 3D threeleveled (and divided in quarters) mountain. But beware the really hungry wolf! Each side (the wolf and the sheep) has a different deck. The cards of the wolf are face down in a stack while every sheep card is displayed on the table. In turns each player chooses one card for the herd and applies the movement depicted in it (from one to three arrows in every direction but downhill) trying to take the majority of the herd into the uphill sheepfold. After that he reveals a wolf card and must apply its movement, which may result in the wolf capturing one of the sheep. Players share the victory if at least 6 sheep (out of 10) arrive safe to the top.
Does it fit your group?
- Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
- Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
- Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
