Shape up or sheep out! A huge storm is threatening Shepherd's Island and it's up to you to stem the tide. In this captivating card game, try to outwit your opponents by playing number cards wisely to stay afloat. Hang on to your life preservers to win the game. However, be careful what you play or else you could end up in deep water! A great strategic game for the not too sheepish.
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!

Have you ever played a game that seems simple enough but has so may levels to it that even when you think you've got the hang of it, you don't? That is the sense our testers had even after playing Turn the Tide several times. We should be clear, our testers really liked this game...a lot. It ranks way up there with the most challenging strategy games we've ever played. That said, don't underestimate the surprisingly complex task of staying afloat while outthinking your opponents. This is a game for people who love to outmaneuver other players. Think Bridge meets Acey Deucy meets Hearts. Got it? No you don't! Have Fun!
