Game
Wool rules: it is a clever dice-game, where players try to get
the most valuable sheep while trying to avoid black sheep. So
you need a little luck, a portion of risk and some
self-confidence because only the player, who rolled the
predicted dice sum, can choose from the available cards. And
if you're too careful you might only get what's left over. And as
mentioned above, no one wants to have black sheep because
they equal minus points.
Material
Flash cards, wool chips, six bidding tables, six miniature clips,
three dices
