About the game

It's night in the mountains and the shepherds are bored.. so they count sheep... taking care not to be the first to fall asleep! Sheepzz is a card game belonging to the same family as MOW. Players have 5 cards in hand. On their turn they must place one card from their hand on the top on one of the 3 piles, respecting the current law to count Sheepzz: depending on the moment, you have to respect ascending (1 to 19) or descending (19 to 1) order. If you can't play you get all of the cards of one pile as a penalty, collecting as many "bad" points as there are pillows on these cards. Some sheep cards give you specific abilities, and the wolves are jokers... but dangerous ones!
