Where it came from
Battle Sheep was released in 2010 as a re-themed version of the game Splits, originally designed by Francesco Caldora. The concept was reimagined by Italian publisher Blue Orange Games to feature a pastoral, humorous aesthetic involving sheep vying for control of a field. The game utilizes a modular board of hexagonal tiles, which players arrange to create a new, unique landscape at the start of every session.
The graphic design and illustration for this edition were handled by Ben Mouton, who opted for a whimsical, high-contrast look that emphasized the playful nature of the game’s core mechanics. Since its release, it has been widely recognized for its deceptive simplicity; while the rules are intuitive and easy to teach, the game offers significant strategic depth that has made it a staple in the modern abstract strategy genre, particularly praised for its family-friendly accessibility.
