Battle Sheep — Abstract Strategy Board Game by Blue Orange (2–4 Players, Ages 7+)

Overview

Battle Sheep from Blue Orange invites families and friends to a lively, grid-based arena where fluffy rivals vie for the most pasture. The board changes with every game, thanks to modular hex tiles and fresh layouts, delivering a new puzzle and a new set of possibilities each time you play.

How to play in brief

Start by building the board from identical four-hex tiles, then place your tall stacks along the outer edge. On your turn, split a portion from the top of one stack and slide that group as far as it can go in a straight line to a new pasture. You must leave at least one sheep behind, so the board gradually fills and movement becomes trickier.

1. Assemble the modular board from four-hex tiles and position your sheep stacks on the border.
2. On your turn, remove some top pieces from a stack and move them in a straight line to a new pasture.
3. Always leave at least one sheep behind on the originating stack.
4. The game ends when no moves remain; the player with the most controlled pastures wins.
