The rules, step by step
Setup
To set up the Smash Up: Sheep faction, simply integrate the Sheep minion and action cards into your existing Smash Up deck. Shuffle the Sheep minion cards into the main minion deck and the Sheep action cards into the main action deck. The two new base cards, 'The Pasture' and 'Sheep Shrine,' should be shuffled into the base deck. This faction is designed to be combined with any two other factions to create a unique 20-card deck for gameplay.
Objective
The primary objective when playing with the Sheep faction, as with any Smash Up faction, is to be the first player to accumulate 15 or more victory points. Players achieve this by strategically playing minions and actions to bases, aiming to have the highest total power on a base when it 'breaks' (reaches its breakpoint value).
On your turn
During your turn, you will typically play one minion and one action card. Sheep minions, like 'Flock,' have ongoing abilities that allow them to move to other bases when another minion moves. 'Black Sheep' moves away from other minions, while 'Ram' can push an opponent's minion to their hand. Action cards like 'Ewe Shall Pass' allow you to move your minions and draw cards, and 'Shearing' lets you draw extra cards by reducing a minion's power. 'Hello, Dolly!' allows you to copy another player's action.
Scoring
Scoring occurs when the total power of all minions on a base meets or exceeds the base's breakpoint value. When a base breaks, players with the highest, second-highest, and sometimes third-highest power on that base receive victory points as indicated on the base card. 'The Pasture' base offers points for the top three players, while 'Sheep Shrine' allows players to move minions there after it's played, potentially influencing scoring.
Game end
The game concludes at the end of any player's turn if that player has accumulated 15 or more victory points. If multiple players reach 15 or more points simultaneously, the player with the highest total victory points wins. In case of a tie, the player with the highest total power on bases wins, followed by the player with the most cards in hand.
Tips
The Sheep faction excels at minion movement and card draw. Use 'Flock' and 'Black Sheep' to manipulate minion positions, either following your other minions or escaping threats. 'Ram' is excellent for disrupting opponents' base control. 'Little Bo Peep' can lock down a base, preventing other players from moving minions to or from it, while also allowing you to move your own minions there. 'Shearing' is a powerful card draw engine, and 'To Follow, or Not?' provides flexibility by letting you play or return an action from an opponent's discard pile. Combine Sheep with factions that benefit from minion movement or need extra card draw.
