📖 About This Game
Shepherds is a 2 players game (with 4 players variant) in which players try to catch 3 (of 9) sheep. They try to do it with one... dog. The first who do it, is a winner.
Each player has a set of cards. Players (alternately) play a card and move the dog to try herding the sheep into their pens. Cards have values from 1 to 5, which represent exactly how many spaces the dog must move.
The used card is discarded. If a player runs out of cards, all of that player's discarded cards return to their hand. At the end of the dog's movement, the player places a pen in his color on the dog's final square.
Players take turns one after the other in this way until the game ends.
