About the game
For the tenth anniversary of [email protected], the site's feline mascot Hallbert invites you to participate in Ostfriesisches Schafe-Schubsen (East Frisian Sheep Hustle). In this game the sheep compete in a lively race, which is, alas, not always free of small dirty tricks. While the sheep struggle on the dyke for the best positions, Hallbert is hiding and intends to scare the slowest sheep so that it flops off the dyke. Meanwhile, the sheep are no angels and are hustling for positions, with all of them wanting to shove their fellow racers onto slippry ground. Those who have a lifesaver are the lucky ones that can continue the race. Without a lifesaver, any sheep sliding down the dyke is doomed to watch the race from a distance. When only two sheep remain on the dyke, the race ends and an award ceremony takes place; according to East Frisian tradition, the most fearless sheep that has not aimlessly rushed forward wins the race - thus, the runner-up is really the winner! Ostfriesisches Schafe-Schubsen, which will appear in an edition of 500 copies, is being sold on a non-profit basis, with neither the game designers nor the graphic designers earning money from the game.
