Read the full game description

From the Box & Playroom website: "They're cute, they're fluffy, and they're on the loose! Be the first player to fence in Mother Sheep's flock in this exciting game of family fun. Each player has a list of five lost sheep they must fence in to return to the Mother Sheep, and only certain types of fences with which to do it. Each piece of fencing is color-coded to match up with other pieces, so you must think strategically when placing them. Players must work together at the same time as they compete with one another, in order to build up their fences the fastest. Every piece of fencing can either help or hinder the other players, so it’s important to keep track of who else is aiming for your sheep. Will you be the first one to fence in everyone on your list?
