**Battle Sheep** is an abstract strategy board game that combines area enclosure, grid movement, and modular board mechanics on a hexagon grid. The game includes humorous sheep illustrations for a lighthearted touch. Components consist of urea tokens and cardboard pieces, with a variable board layout that changes each game.
Designed for 2 to 4 players, it accommodates family play as well as adult strategy enthusiasts. The board adjusts in size based on player count, ensuring balanced gameplay. Setup involves assembling the board from four-hex tiles, with players placing their disc stacks on border hexes. On each turn, players split a stack, moving a portion in a straight line while leaving at least one disc behind. The goal is to control the most spaces as the board fills and movement options diminish.
Suitable for ages 7 and up, Battle Sheep encourages strategic thinking and spatial reasoning. The set includes 16 pasture boards and 64 sheep chips.
Things to Keep in MindThe game's highly competitive design can lead to frustrating, imbalanced play and may be too simple or slow for older children, alongside frequent reports of missing or non-functional components and damaged packaging upon delivery. Why You'll Like ItUsers frequently highlight the game's good quality components and its accessibility, noting it as a simple yet engaging game that encourages strategic thinking, making it enjoyable for families and younger children.
