Every once in a while a game comes along that makes you stop and look at it. You’re just moving along on the hamster wheel of life and something comes out that is so clever, and so simple, that you just have to marvel at it. It helps when it looks great, and draws a crowd.

Sheep in Disguise is a light family game with just a little bit of take-that.

It’s a fun simple game for pet lovers who like this really adorable style, but it’s definitely not a game for your hobby group. I’d stick with playing this with kids, probably around ages 6-10, or young teens or preteens that really lean into the cuteness factor.
