13 Sheep is a board game released in 2019 for 1–10 players, 3–8 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Moritz Dressler and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Paper-and-Pencil, and Line Drawing.
13 Sheep is a quick roll-and-write game for one or more players. By drawing fences, players try to protect as many sheep as possible before the wolf comes. Each turn, players roll a die and draw a matching fence on the map. The game can last for 7 to 10 rounds, depending on the result of the die roll in the last 3 rounds. At the end of the game, each completely enclosed area will score the players points depending on the number of sheep within. —description from the publisher
13 Sheep supports 1–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for 13 Sheep is 3–8 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists 13 Sheep for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
13 Sheep has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
