Sheepdogs of Pendleton Hill Now Available in the U.S.

Feb 15, 2013

If you’re looking for a nice introductory game for friends and family who may not be familiar with Eurostyle games, Stratamax Games may just have the perfect title. Carrying some of the biggest meeples you may ever find, Sheepdogs of Pendleton Hill puts the players into the roles of sheepdogs aiming to keep their flocks from straying while also denying the hungry wolf a meal of lamb chops! Sheepdogs of Pendleton Hill is for three to five players and can be completed in around 45 minutes.

From Stratamax:

Players move flocks of sheep up the hill to the shepherds. The higher a player’s sheep get before meeting their shepherds, the more points they will score. The player who scores the most points wins.

A deck of cards is used by the players to take actions such as placing shepherds, putting sheep into flocks, moving flocks of sheep, and moving the wolf. Flocks often contain sheep from many players and cooperation can be key. But how long will this helpful, peaceful pastoral scene last when the cards require players to take actions for other players which can include placing opponents’ shepherds in lower scoring areas and moving flocks that do not contain their own sheep? And a hungry wolf ever lurks in the background…

For 3 – 5 Players, Ages 10 years and up, Game length about 40 minutes

While quantities last, your order will include the Wolf Expansion which was included at our release at Essen 2012!

Sheepdogs of Pendleton Hill is the “Fluffy Game with Bite!” and is available now for $59.50 with free shipping to all continental US customers!
