About the Game:

At first glance, the combination of sheep and ocean tides might seem like an odd pairing for a highly strategic card game. But, once you get your feet wet (sorry, couldn't resist), we think you will agree that the theme is a perfect complement to the game's other unique characteristics. In particular, the simultaneous, blind bidding element makes for some very interesting player dynamics. (Hint: don't play all of your low cards too early in a round.) And the fact that everyone gets a chance to "one up" their opponents by playing each other's hands, is one of the most exciting twists we've yet to see in a card game. Sheep Ahoy!
