About the game
What you do in a play session
In Sheepy Time, you step into the hooves of a Dream Sheep, one of those fluffy creatures people count to drift off to Dreamland! Your mission is to help your human fall into a deep sleep by jumping the fence each time you complete a lap. Each jump brings you closer to scoring more points, but beware! Nightmares lurk and can ruin everything. On your turn, you'll play one of the two cards in your hand to move your little sheep around the circular board, activating neat effects along the way. Completing a lap is crucial for scoring, but every time you refill your hand, you risk drawing a Nightmare card. If one of these spooky critters crosses your path, your human might wake up startled, costing you the points for that round! The game challenges you to take risks and push your limits to prove you're the dreamiest sheep of all. Featuring a variable setup for high replayability and mechanics like push your luck and racing, Sheepy Time offers a swift and fun experience for 1 to 4 players, taking about 30 to 45 minutes. It's that kind of light game with a touch of tension, perfect for those who enjoy cute themes with a hint of danger. Get ready for a race against the nightmares, and good luck not waking up your human!
