The Sheep

About this board game

The Sheep is a comedy-horror board game for 2–4 players, with an approximately 160-minute play time, in which humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction by sheep.

Players take on the roles of Shepherds, members of an organization founded to confront this extraordinary threat. Working together, you must protect caravans as they travel through the wilderness.

Each Day offers time to prepare for whatever danger will arrive at Night. This day-and-night structure gives the game a clear rhythm, with preparation leading into an unknown threat that the Shepherds must face as a team.

• Cooperative gameplay for 2–4 players
• Simultaneous turn-based gameplay
• Random events that shape the unfolding experience
• Individual character mats for the Shepherds
• Gear upgrades to support your efforts

The simultaneous turn-based system keeps players engaged as they play through the game together. Random events add uncertainty, while individual character mats and gear upgrades provide distinct elements for the Shepherds to manage during their journey.

With its unusual comedy-horror premise, The Sheep combines a desperate fight for humanity’s survival with the challenge of escorting caravans through a dangerous wilderness. Coordinate your preparations, respond to the unknown, and work with your fellow Shepherds to protect the travelers in your care.

Released in 2026, The Sheep is built around shared responsibility, escalating uncertainty, and a memorable confrontation between humanity and its woolly threat.
