The Sheep is a cooperative survival board game that blends dark humour, strategy, and horror into a unique tabletop experience. Players take on the roles of Shepherds, hired protectors responsible for escorting vulnerable caravans across a dangerous countryside that has been overrun by cursed and magically mutated sheep. Throughout the journey, players must work together to defend the caravans, survive increasingly difficult encounters, and manage limited resources while travelling through unpredictable environments.

Each round presents new challenges as players gather strength during daylight hours by improving equipment, developing abilities, and adapting to evolving threats. Once night falls, conditions become far more dangerous as mutations emerge, corruption spreads, and survival becomes increasingly difficult. Success depends on careful planning, strong teamwork, and making difficult decisions under pressure. With escalating tension, changing scenarios, and multiple systems working together, every session feels like a unique cooperative adventure.

Why to play

The Sheep offers something different from traditional cooperative board games by combining survival, progression, and narrative driven gameplay with a distinctive horror theme. It rewards communication, teamwork, and adaptability while creating memorable moments as players attempt to overcome overwhelming odds together. For groups looking for a cooperative challenge with strong atmosphere and evolving gameplay, this delivers a highly engaging experience.
