A fence-building strategy game for the whole flock! They’re cute, they’re fluffy, and they’re on the loose! Be the first to fence in Mother Sheep’s flock in this exciting game of family fun. Each player needs to fence in five sheep but only has a limited supply of fences with which to do it. Every fence is uniquely colour-coded and must be placed to match other fences. Be the first to pen in all of the sheep on your list. But play close attention because in MOTHER SHEEP other players may need to pen in some of the same sheep as you. Players must co-operate while competing with each other to fence in all of their sheep. Will you be the first to bring back your 5 sheep to Mother?

Review by Ben Rainbird; Actor and Games enthusiast:
I can see Mother Sheep playing well with children who like cute animals, not least any young fans of Shaun the Sheep. The rules, in English and Spanish, are very clearly presented and colourful diagrams help to explain the game very well. Very nice pieces, especially the Sheep pawns, which the aforementioned animal-loving children will fall in love with. Lastly, it’s nice to see a child-friendly strategy game devoid of any military themes. Tanks, air raids and pitched artillery duels are fine in their own right, of course, but those games are ten a penny. Mother Sheep, on the other hand, presents an alternative option for adults who want to get children into strategy gameplay without all those bothersome explosions. In short, it’s just good, clean, wooly fun.
