LEGO® Shave a Sheep

Description

A game you build yourself

The Games range from LEGO® combined construction kit and board game: first you build the playing device, then you head straight to the table. In Shave a Sheep the sheep sits at the centre and players take turns removing its wool. The idea is quick to explain, which suits children who are not yet ready for long rulebooks. With 118 pieces the build is soon done, so the playing does not have to wait long. Adults tend to enjoy it as much as children.

White and lime

White stands for the wool, black and dark bluish grey supply the frame and details, and a bright lime green adds an accent that catches the eye straight away. The low part variety is interesting: only 22 different types make up the 118 pieces. Many identical bricks appear several times, which keeps the build clear and makes the parts a useful basic stock for models of your own. Collectors of repeated parts benefit most.

No figures, plenty of pace

There are no minifigures, and a board game does not really need them. The appeal lies in the quick turns between players and in each round ending a little differently. The set works well as a birthday gift or for a family evening, because no prior knowledge is needed. Larger groups pick up the game quickly as well. Collectors of the Games range mostly care that every playing part is present, since gaps are hard to fill later.

Parts list and reuse

The full parts list on this page helps when you check second-hand games or want to buy single bricks. After the playing phase the pieces can serve other ideas. With the “What can I build?” tool you can see which other models fit your current stock. White and grey bricks appear in many sets and are equally handy for buildings, vehicles or animals, so very little is lost when you rebuild.
