Game Idea

A hair-raising doggy dice race around the sheep-run. You all roll the dice at the same time and then according to whatever symbol appears on the dice, players carry out different actions. Whoever catches up with the dog of another player gets a sheep as a reward. The aim of the game is to be the first to collect three sheep.

Preparation of the Game

If two players are playing then place the game board with the pink flowers face-up in the center of the table, if three or four players are playing then place the board with the yellow flowers face up.

Put all the sheep in the sheep-run in the center of the game board.

Each player takes a dice and a dog. Following the direction of the arrows, distribute the dogs on the path squares around the sheep-run, with equal distances between them.

If there are fewer than four players the remaining game material is returned to the game box.

How to Play

Together you bark the triple starting signal "Woof-woof-woof" and then all simultaneously roll the dice. Each player tries to carry out the action appearing on their die as quickly as possible.

The die shows:

  • The dog? Shout "Woof" clearly and distinctly and move your dog one square in the direction of the arrows.
  • The sheep? Shout "Baa!" clearly and distinctly, however your dog stays where it is.
  • The hungry wolf with arrow? Get up and run around the table. Your dog stays where it is.

Hint: If there is not enough space to run, then just stand up and spin once.

Then you roll the dice again.

End of around

(Heading as printed in the source; "around" appears to be a typo for "round".)

A round finishes as soon as two dogs stand on the same square. If a player catches up with another dog he takes a sheep from the sheep-run as a reward and keeps it in front of him. The dogs are again distributed at equal distances on the path round the sheep-run and a new round starts.

End of the Game

The game ends as soon as a player has gathered three sheep, thus winning this exciting competition.
