Sheep Away is a worker placement game where you play as a shepherd trying to protect their flock of sheep from predators and thieves until morning comes. You do this by manipulating the positioning of your sheep and the predators. You will place 3 workers to select actions. You get special actions where your workers intersect on the board. Each special action is determined by what occupies that space. This adds complexity as you must think about what actions and special actions you want to take, and what actions you don’t want your opponent to take. Additionally, you can alter special actions by changing what occupies the space!
