Sheepdogs of Pendleton Hill

I was introduced to Sheepdogs of Pendleton Hill with two words: “Big wood!” And indeed, inside there are both lots of wood and some large pieces. The big figures are players’ shepherds, which will be placed on the hill depicted on the board. The smaller wooden figures are the sheep – in the players’ colours again.

Players score points when sheep meets shepherd. The clever bit is that, within restrictions, players can place other people’s shepherds and move other people’s sheep. So your sheep may not get that far up the hill!

Sheepdogs of Pendleton Hill is not the deepest game, but it’s entertaining and has some surprising tactical subtleties.

The game comes with the Wolf expansion, which gives players an extra option.

For 3-5 players, aged 10+, playing time 40 minutes
