Happy Sheep is a fast, fun game of memory, deduction and bluffing. It’s a fabulous family game, but it’s also got enough calculation and deception to make it a great light filler for serious gamers.
It appears very simple: lay out the lovely wooden tiles in a grid, start peeking at them and moving them around, and yell “Happy Sheep” when you think you know where four tiles in a group that are all black or all white.
Except it’s astonishing how you can be wrong and there’s lots of laughter and good-natured ribbing!
Simple to learn but hard to master, surprising amount of strategy, and it plays so quickly that you tend to have quite a few games in a row.
For 2-4 players and aimed at 6 to adult, it also comes with rules for a very basic game for 3 and ups. More info at www.happysheepgame.co.nz.
