Wool Gang is an educational card game where smart planning and observing other players make all the difference. The rules are easy to understand, making it quick to learn, yet every decision carries weight.
Each round starts with players receiving five sheep cards and three dog cards. Sheep cards may be regular, jokers or action cards. The game unfolds in two phases. In the first phase, players must lay down all of their sheep cards, either individually or grouped. Since the sheep are numbered with single digits, their placement is important because certain dogs can collect only specific numbers.
In the second phase, everyone simultaneously plays a dog card. Each dog has a unique ability that determines which sheep it can collect, whether a single card or an entire group. Timing and prediction are key, as players try to grab valuable cards while anticipating opponents' moves.
Every collected card is worth one point, and the winner is the first to reach twenty points. Wool Gang encourages reasoning, logical thinking and a good dose of patience, all wrapped in a quick and engaging card game.
