Customer Review

Goal of the game
The players each take on the role of a dragon. This hunt for sheep, but not to feed them, but to trade for resources. On each sheep card on the back either a treasure or an action. Treasures can then be exchanged for the required number of sheep cards. But other players spark with the actions of other cards also like between. Those who could collect the most precious treasures at the end wins the game.

Building
One player is the starting player and receives the corresponding card, which he puts in front of him. Then, each player chooses a dragon card. This has no influence on the game and has only on the back of a list of possible actions. The remaining cards are shuffled and placed the sheep face up on the table. Of these, then each player draws four cards, which he takes on the hidden hand. Another four cards are placed back with the sheep side up, in addition to the draw pile. This is the pasture, from the players to draw cards later. Then it's also going on already.

Gameplay
The player at the train always performs the following actions:

1. Pull the two cards
Play 2nd Treasury or cave map
3. Play Action Map

1. Pull the two cards
The player takes two cards. This he may take either of the pasture or the draw pile.
He takes a card from the pasture, a new card is placed in the gap immediately.
The player may take the card from any pasture or from the deck.
However, he may look at the front of the cards drawn only if it has drawn both cards.
If a player has at the beginning of the drawing process fewer than four cards in hand, he may draw two instead of three cards.

The hand limit is at the end of a player's turn 10. If a player has more than 10 cards, so he has to throw cards to the discard pile.
If a complete round long take no one card from the pasture, the pasture may be completely replaced before the next round against new cards.
But only if all players agree.

Play 2nd Treasury or cave map
Now the player may play a treasure OR a cave map. But it can also fit and go to the next step.
Playing a cave map is free, the playing of a treasure map but must be paid with sheep.

Treasure Maps
Top left on the treasure map is always the value at points and including the cost of playing the card.
The cost may be sheep cards in a certain color and sheep cards of any color (rainbow sheep).
The player can afford the cost, so he puts the treasure in front of him and shows the other players how they want to pay him.
He must then interpret the right to the treasure map that paid cards go to the discard pile.
Pro color the player must form a series, ie a maximum of five color scales.

The cave map
Laying out a cave card costs nothing. However, the player may lay only one cave per color card here.
The cave maps bring the end of the game extra points, depending on how many treasures the player has in each cave color.

0 treasures = 0 points
1 Treasure = 1 point
2 treasures = 3 points
3 treasures = 6 points
4 or more treasures = 10 points

So it makes sense to be limited during the game in a few colors to dust the cave important points.

b) Knights
The player must sit out. But he should never have to expose two consecutive rounds.

c) thief
The thief must steal another player two hole cards from his hand and put it into their own hands.

d) Shepherdess
One must take two additional cards from the draw pile.

The Dragon Card
The Dragon Card is the only card that can plays out not directly but in response to an action card of another player.
Counters If the action card of another player with a dragon card, so this has a shot blocked and comes along with the action card on the discard pile.
It can therefore be negates the action cards angry mob, knight, thief, shepherdess.

Wizards map
If you play an action card, together with a wizard card, the action of the other players can not be with a dragon card prevented.

The Unicorn Card
If you play the Unicorn card, so you're protected until his next train against all action cards of the other players.
Once you get back to the series, its commitment the Unicorn card on the shelf.

Full time
The game ends when one player has designed and paid for his 10th treasure map.
Then each player who was not still there this round must, play its train.
Now the values ​​of the treasure cards of each player are added up and the extra points added through the caves.
The player who now has the most points wins the game.

Changes for more than three players
Play more than two players, so there are the following changes to the gameplay:

1. Players always draw three cards instead of two.
2. If a player has at the beginning of his turn, fewer than four cards in hand, he can not draw any additional card.
3. With three players, each player may lay only 3 caves, with four players only. 2
4. The game ends when three players when a player 9 treasures and four players, if a player has 8 treasures.

Small Conclusion
From dragon and sheep is primarily a pretty card game. The rules are easy to understand and annoying the players is fun. The fact that you can only see the side of the sheep draw cards, it's always interesting to see what is behind it. Therefore, one can train his ever planning limited. Luckily, you know if you take a red card, then something red is back on it. So quickly created a competition, if more players gather the same colors. The waiting times between trains are pleasantly short and the interaction between players, thanks to the action cards also given. A really nice game for the whole family.
