This game was born in one of the contests on this forum a long tie. Now, I kindly ask for your help in playtesting it.

Besides just your candid observations of the game, it would be awesome if you can answer a handful of extra questions:
How many times did you play in a seating? How often did you need to look at the rules? What was your strategy? To what extent could you predict your opponent's moves? To what extent did you react to your opponent's moves? Can you explain why the victorious player won? To what extent did you feel like you were in control of the outcome of the game?
I know this is a bit much to ask, but I would appreciate any feedback. You can write me here, through a message or via e-mai at pmitov@gmail.com
Thank you! I hope I will be able to provide a physical copy of the game to the playtesters after a decent amount of development is done.
Again, any feedback or questions are welcome!

After some initial feedback with playtesting, I made a few changes to the rules of the game:
1. The Shepherd can only end the day if he brought back sheep worth 3 or more symbols.
2. The Wolf must capture sheep worth 2 or more symbols to get any point for captured sheep.
And, thank you Rich, I worked some more on the game rules to improve the wording and make it shorter. This will be an ongoing task. The updated rules are available on the original link.
Thank you! I will appreciate any feedback.
