On Your Turn

You can move :

  • 1 piece at a time
  • only diagonally (so you always play on the same cell color of the board)
  • only 1 step at a time
  • the sheep can move backward, not the wolves

End of game

Beware this is an asymmetric game :

  • WHITE Victory : Sheep wins by reaching the other side of the board (8th row or 10th row according to played variant).
  • BLACK Victory : Wolves win by blocking the sheep such that it cannot move anymore (when sheep has no legal move left).

Variants

  • Checkers board : 10x10 (+1 black token)
