Peter's Two Sheep Dogs

In the short summer of the Southern Alps, players act as sheep dogs herding sheep, pigs, and cows from the grassland into a fence and finally to the hut, while chasing away a wolf. Trick-taking determines who collects animals in their grassland, while the player who loses chooses a grassland and performs a movement action based on mancala-style rules. Livestock earns points, but wolves eat animals and remove points, allowing players to threaten opponents while building their own herds. Scoring takes place in spring and summer, with the summer score depending on its relationship to the spring score.
