Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Fleeced, a 'Cracking' new Board Game! Wallace & Gromit are back in a new board game, devised by their creator Nick Park and produced by PopCo, a division of Corgi International in conjunction with Aardman Animations.
'Shear' fun and frustration Fleeced is the worlds first and only sheep rustling board game! Its simple yet engaging game play will provide hours of fun for all the family.
Sheep have gone missing and players work their way around the board which features West Wallaby Street and its environs to seek out the fugitive livestock. Then rustle them from their hideouts, or from other rustling rascals and herd them in long lines safely back home. It sounds easy, but beware...the more sheep you rustle the more other players will have their greedy eyes on your flock.
Can 'ewe' rise to the challenge and rustle up the largest flock?

Absolutely love this game! Incredibly frustrating when your sheep gets poached right in front of your door. Hours of fun and laughter! Fun for young and old :-)

Having been a long time fan of Nick Park and his animations, and now having children (age 8 and 6) who adore anything to do with Wallace and Gromit, Fleeced seemed like an excellent choice for a Christmas present - how wrong I was!
We were very pleased with the contents - lovely board, beautiful characters and sheep - all good and the children were very happy. A few moves in, and all good - moving the sheep around was fun for the kids. But then it all went wrong. The game mechanics simply don't work. It's easier to steal sheep off other people than to try and get the right cards and open up a hideaway. As a result, it was always the easy option to steal off someone else, then get them stolen back, then someone else steal them...and on and on it goes. It got worse as the number of hideaways diminished until the end, when only one hideaway was left, and one poor person opens it, then it's a tedious job trying to get your sheep back to base with no one else stealing them... an impossible task if you're playing with 5 people as we were. We eventually gave up in frustration.
As I say, it simply doesn't work. We're now left with a game that no one wants to play. What a disappointment.
We play a lot of board games - Enchanted Forest, Zooloretto, Labyrinth, Carcassonne... the list goes on, so this is n't simply because we don't understand rules or games in general.

Brilliant game - instructions seem tricky at first but once you get past that it is logical, highly addictive and very enjoyable!

Great little sheep game
Once you get pass the instruction leaflet, which is a long game in itself, then this is a really good game. Read more

Nice playing pieces but the game itself is awful
My mum got this for Christmas and we sat down to it expecting a bit of lightweight fun. Unfortunately we didn't finish even the first game - because it was so awful. Read more
