Wolf im Schafspelz
Pepper card for wolf majority!?
A dice game in three levels of difficulty, the rules recommend to try the basic game first: Each player is given a wool card and a pepper card; you use five dice for up to five players or all white dice plus the blue animal die in case of six to eight players. You hold your wool card and the dice are distributed as evenly as possible among all players. Then all roll the dice simultaneously in the middle of the table so that they rest between the two halves of the box. And now you must be quick - which animal has the majority - Wolf or Sheep? If you think you know it you throw your wool card into the corresponding box half. Then the result is checked and the appropriate box half is turned upside down. Now - depending on the number of players the owner of the card on top or owners of top and second card or owners of the three top cards are given points. A player whose card is placed in the wrong box discards a point, if he has one. When you have 10 or more points, you win.
In the advanced version you hold both cards and the wool/pepper die is rolled as well; depending on that die’s result you must throw the wool or pepper card into the majority’s box. In the elite version both blue dice are rolled: When the blue animal dice is part of the majority you throw the card that fits the result of the wool/pepper die; if not, you use the card contrary to the result of the wool/pepper die. And if you want you can award the points corresponding to wolf or sheep majority and you win with 5 sheep and 5 wolf points.
All clear? Yes? No? Just try it! It is a really cute game and not as simple as it sounds - it can easily happen that you mistake a wolf for a sheep!
