Next Spring will see a new family game from AEG, Sheepy Time. In the game, designed by Neil Kimbrall, players represent the sheep folks count to fall asleep to as each vies for the most points while keeping their human snoozing. Sheepy Time is for one to four players, ages 10+, plays in around 30 to 45 minutes. The game hits stores on May 14th carrying an MSRP of $39.99.
From AEG:
You are one of the Dream Sheep, the sheep that people count in order to drift off to Dreamland! Each time you jump the fence, you help your person fall asleep easier — but the Nightmares that haunt these dreams threaten a rude awakening…
On a turn in Sheepy Time, you play one of two cards in your hand to move around the circle, potentially activating neat effects, while jumping the fence each time you complete a lap to put yourself in position to earn more points. When refilling your hand, however, if you draw a Nightmare card, you have to activate the Nightmare — and if it crosses your path, your human may be scared awake, which means you’ll earn no points this round. How far do you dare push your Zzzs to prove you’re the dreamiest sheep of all!
