Baaaaa!

Steer a flock up the mountain together while a wolf you cannot predict prowls behind you.

You guide a flock of sheep up a three-level mountain to the fold at the top, and a hungry wolf moves after every one of your turns. Save at least six of the ten sheep and the whole table wins together.

Who it's for

Families with kids from about five who want to play together rather than against each other, plus a solo mode for practising alone.

Not for you if…

You dislike one player quarterbacking the group, since all the information is public and a dominant adult can simply direct every turn. It is also a short, light experience that adults will exhaust quickly.

Vibe's take

Cooperative in the friendliest sense: everyone sees the options, everyone argues about them, and the wolf card provides the jump scare.
