Read the full game description
Sheep & Garden is a tile-placement game for 1 to 4 players that takes about 15 minutes. Each player starts the game with three objective cards, and while in the two-player game each player has their own secret cards, with 3-4 players you have one personal objective in addition to sharing an objective with each of your neighbors. Try to work well together to help each other out! On a turn, you choose one of the three tiles on display and add it to the shared landscape everyone is creating in the center of play. Once all 37 tiles have been placed, players score points based on their objectives, and whoever has the most points wins.
