You are a Sheep. You are a Defender in the Strategic Sheep Command. You will direct Shepherd Fleet to rescue the SpaceSheep. You know how to defeat Wolf… Ewe’s The Force…
Space Sheep! is a very customizable, real-time, cooperative game – with one or more traitors potentially in your midst – for 1 to 8 players!
The players are the Defenders who want to get the SpaceSheep and Shepherd-class ships back to their home System before time runs out. The Defenders will play Tactics cards to conduct the Rescue Mission, but must also defend against the constant, real-time attacks of Wolf. Some players may be hidden Infiltrators (“Wolves in Sheep Commanders’ uniforms”), making the game semi-cooperative and forcing Defenders to decipher who is on their team!
Space Sheep! may be customized in many ways for great replayability:
1. Systems in play: more systems = greater complexity. 2. Strength of Wolf: stronger Wolf = greater difficulty. 3. Tactics Cards in the deck: fewer Tactics Cards = greater difficulty. 4. Instruction Tiles to use: provides variability to the game. 5. Distribution of Allegiance cards: changes balance from co-op to competition.
