Battle Sheep

In Battle Sheep (first released as Splits), players start the game by constructing the board from identical four-hex tiles, then each player places his/her tall stack of discs on one of the border hexes. Players take turns removing some number of discs from the top of one of their stacks, moving that new stack of discs as far away as it can go in a straight line. Players must leave at least one disc behind when moving, so the board gradually fills up and movement opportunities become more and more scarce. The player occupying the most spaces at the end of the game wins!

Juego sencillisimo de gestionar un rebaño. Comienza la partida con la construcción del tablero, colocando losetas de cuatro hexágonos. Después se coloca el rebaño inicial de 16 ovejas de cada jugador. A partir de ahí, en el turno del jugador tiene que dividir el rebaño en dos grupos, escogiendo la cantidad de cada grupo, y desplazar el grupo dividido por una de las caras del hexágono hasta el borde del tablero. El objetivo es conseguir ocupar el mayor número de casillas, para lo que debes tratar de evitar que tus contrincantes se expandan más que tu. Es trementamente sencillo, pero tiene profu
