Overview
What ABG knows about this game
The Wild West Shepherds is a western style shepherd game that takes you on a cunning and funny adventure. To win this game, you must understand all the characters' abilities and observe carefully. In each round, players take a new character card that will help them to collect sheep. The game ends at the close of a round in which a player has 11 sheep or more. The player with the most sheep wins the game. In each round, set 4 location cards as shepherd locations facing down on the table. Starting with the player with Headman’s character card. He looks at 2 location cards first and announces the number of wolves. But the wolf in sheep clothing may count as 1 or 0. After Headman announcing the number of wolves, each player looks at one location card and chooses a location to put his own cowboy meeple on it. Scoring: when everyone has done, reveal all character and location cards. Scores are tallied for each location. Players put their own cowboy meeple on a location with wolves may lose sheep, or a location with sheep may collect sheep. But character ability will impact the result: Hunter cannot effect by wolves and collect sheep base on wolf number, Turkey Mama snatches all the sheep, Banker takes double of the sheep, and so on.
