Wooly Wars

Players take on the roles of rival shepherds trying to gather the most sheep into their pens on a pastoral tile-placement board, while also keeping a wary eye on the wolf prowling in the nearby forest. Each turn you can expand your flock or play cards to hinder opponents — but a wandering wolf can upend even the best-laid plans. Lovely countryside illustrations make this a visually charming family game that develops spatial thinking through sheep-counting strategy.
