About the game
The Game of Sheep. Players represent shepherds in the village of Cileson trying to keep their unruly sheep in order for it is shearing day. Unfortunately, the sheep have escaped and scattered together all over the village green. With the help of Benny the Village Dog the players try to be the first to collect back 6 sheep of the same color in order to turn them over to Tim the Shearer. But Tim gets impatient when he has nothing to shear and may cause players to take negative points. The mechanisms are exchanging cards with a common supply of cards on the table as well as play of special cards to completely reset the common supply or force others to take negative points. The key challenges are to discover what color each other player is collecting and deciding which color to collect oneself. Play several hands to determine an overall winner. Simple rules also make it possible to play with children as young as 7.

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 Mömmen is 45 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 Mömmen for ages 7 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.
Mömmen has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
