Players take on the role of shepherds in a fantasy world, seeking lost sheep and returning them to the castle. Along the way, they discover helpful items and face enemies, while avoiding or fighting the dragon who roams the kingdom. Movement is determined by dice rolls, and players explore new areas each turn to draw cards with objects, events, enemies, or sheep.
Who Is This Game For?
This game is aimed at children aged 6 and up and families seeking simple rules and short playtime. It is a family game with low complexity and includes a solo mode. No prior experience is needed due to its intuitive mechanics.
How It Works
Each turn, players perform two actions: move and explore. Movement is decided by rolling a 1d4 die, then exploring the current area by drawing a card from the appropriate deck. Explored areas cannot be searched again. The game uses mechanics such as Area Movement, Dice Rolling, and Pick-up and Deliver as players collect and return sheep. Certain die results also activate the dragon.
