Battle Sheep Abstract Strategy Board Game with Animal Sheep Theme by Blue Orange Games - Family or Adult Strategy Board game for 2 to 4 players. Recommended for ages 7 & Up.

Our family has played this game countless times. A lot of fun for two to four people (my husband and I will challenge each other after the kids are in bed). The changing board is a huge factor in it's replayability. This is sociable chess for people of all ages. My husband and I have enjoyed chess for years and yet more often than not lose to our nine-year-old when we play this game (and we do not go easy on him!). Our three-year-old understands the rules enough to play which makes for a very interesting game. With two long term thinkers trying to out strategize each other, a ninja sheep sneaking around and taking all the fields, and a random sheep whose only quest is to block others on her turn, the games are never predictable! The games are quick and we will usually play at least three games every time we have a game night. High quality components. Love the sheep chips (weighty and a delight to touch), the board pieces are grippy on the underside which means that they stay in place no matter how vicious the war that is waged on it's serene pastures. So easy to explain, so quick to play, yet still a lot of strategy. I highly recommend this game.

Bam Ram EWE - This game is a keeper. It plays 2-4 players ages 7 to adult. My kids (10+) were able to grasp the rules very quickly. The concept is easy to understand - You move a stack of sheep disks in a straight path on the game board. You may take as many sheep with you as you like, but you must leave at least one sheep behind. The object is to block you opponent(s) sheep stacks in so they won't be able to place as many sheep as you. The game says to count the sheep on the board, but we found it much easier to simply count the number of sheep left on your stacks after all the moves were made. This game is super-fun! My family enjoyed playing it. The great thing is that it plays very quickly! Average game time is about 10 minutes, so it leaves a lot of room for replay. Younger players may not be able to move their stacks without them falling down a lot, or may not be able to realize the strategy elements in the game. Believe me, the strategy elements are needed to win if you are playing someone a little older. The board is built for each game, so you change the game by changing the way the board is laid out. Two player action is fun, but three or four is awesome, because you have to watch your back. My kids blocked me in within 5 moves of the game, and I had 9 sheep not used! I didn't see it coming until it was too late - and I am pretty good at these type of games. I was so busy concentrating on blocking my wife in, that I didn't see my son block me from the left then my daughter blocked me in on the right. My wife sealed the deal by moving on of her sheep which cut off my only chance of escape. I couldn't do anything about it by the time it was my move - my 9 sheep were stuck! In retrospect I should have only risked 2 or 3 sheep, but never thought the kids would think so dastardly. Game on I say! We will be playing this game for years I suspect. This weekend we will be playing it with all adults, so I imagine it will be crazy cutthroat! I can't wait!

We love this family game. My kids are ages 7 and 11. We are able to play as a family. Everyone understood the rules just fine, and even the adults were able to really play. The concept of the game is simple enough that younger kids can play along. It introduces some strategic thinking and planning for children, and they had fun ganging up on the adults. It really is a quick game, we can play a round in about 20 minutes with 4 people. Because you set the board up each time you play, it is a little different every time. The quality of every piece is outstanding! I was impressed with chips, they are heavier in weight and indestructible. They are not cardboard, so they will withstand lots of handling. I highly recommend this game!

Battlesheep is fun. Its so easy to learn but there is subtle strategy - especially as the board can change each game so no two games are alike. My 7 & 9 year olds enjoy it. Its quick to setup, quick to play, and quick to pack back up. While smaller kids may get the rules and the concept (its pretty simple), their little hands may struggle to move the really tall stacks of sheep esp at the onset of the game. The pieces are very well made but a tall stack can topple pretty easily if you're not somewhat deliberate. Happy to have this in my collection.

This game is amazing! This is actually our second copy as it was a highly contested item during divorce settlement. It sounds like it should be like Battle Ship, but it's not at all. You start with a stack of sheep and on every turn, you divide your stack and move a portion of them as far as you can go without obstruction in any direction. The goal is to end up with all your sheep spread across the pastures, and ideally a cut off your opponents so their sheep don't have room to graze. My kids have loved it since they were 7/10 and still love it two years later. Every adult I've introduced to it also loved it. Each game takes about ten minutes (unless you have an overthinker in your group) and takes about 2 minutes to learn. The Bakelite pieces have ridiculous sheep cartoons, some of which look like they've been punched in the gut.

Excellent and good fun game with a different layout each time. Easy to learn but a good exercise in strategy! The only drawback when travelling is that it fits together well but needs a flat surface to play on - not usually a problem but in case anybody thinks they could play it in a car or similar. Having said that, it's definitely coming on our next holiday.

The pieces didn't fit together very well but otherwise good.

I might have to deduct half a star, because the sheep tiles are so smooth and shiny, they tend not to stack well. Perhaps some notches (similar to checkers pieces) in the next design iteration would be good, but the tiles do feel great in your hand!

Muy buen juego, materiales de calidad

Se puede jugar casi toda la familia no hay lectura no cálculo pero si estrategia así que la diversión está asegurada y cada vez el juego es distinto y muy versátil con sus tableros. Muy muy recomendable.
