Welcome to the high pastures of Rolling Sheep, the charming roll-and-write game where you’ll join the ever-patient shepherdess Esmeralda on her mission to wrangle the quirkiest flock in the mountains. But don’t let those fuzzy faces fool you - each sheep has strong opinions about where they belong, who they want to stand next to, and how they like to be arranged. Your job is to turn this woolly chaos into a harmonious herd.
Rolling Sheep is a roll-and-write game for any number of players. Whether you’re herding solo or competing in a full-on sheep showdown, the game is light, clever, and packed with personality. To play, each player needs a printed Pasture Sheet, two standard dice, a regular pencil, and a green and pink colored pencil for drawing sheep and their fluff. Each round, players roll the dice to determine which sheep are joining the flock, then place them on their sheet according to that sheep’s unique behavior. Some sheep like company, others prefer solitude.
Rolling Sheep is simple to learn but surprisingly tricky to master, offering a relaxing yet clever puzzle experience every time you play.
The first expansion, Color Flock, brings a vibrant twist to your pasture. It introduces six colorful breeds of sheep, each with its own quirky placement rules and neighbor preferences. Whether you’re lining up fussy blue puffballs or trying to keep the fiery reds apart, every round adds new layers of strategy and charm. With Color Flock, wrangling wool has never looked so good.
Broadfield gives Esmeralda’s pasture a much-needed upgrade. This expansion provides an expanded pasture sheet with more space for clever combos, larger flocks, and colorful patterns. It opens up new opportunities for strategic placement and high-scoring moves — but also presents more challenges, as picky sheep become even more demanding with the extra room to roam. Broadfield is perfect for players who want a bigger field and an even deeper puzzle.
In Fenced In, the gentle hills of the pasture are now broken up by built-in fences that split up space and block movement. This expansion introduces a new pasture sheet filled with cozy pens, tight corners, and awkward gaps, challenging players to think several steps ahead. With less freedom and more restrictions, careful planning becomes essential. It's a more intricate version of the game that rewards patience and smart thinking.
Scoring Herd adds variety and replayability through eight unique scoring cards that change the way your flock earns points. One game might have you chasing color clusters, while another rewards you for isolated introverts or perfectly penned pairs. These cards offer new strategies and goals for every game, encouraging creative approaches and surprising combinations. With Scoring Herd, no two games of Rolling Sheep ever feel the same.
