Rustling is rife in the countryside surrounding West Wallaby Street, forcing worried sheep to take refuge all over town.
Work your way around the streets, seeking out those fugitive sheep.
Rustle them from their hideouts, or from other players, and herd them in long lines safely back home.
But beware! Sheep rustling's a 'gambol'
The more sheep you rustle - the more other rustling rascals will have their greedy eyes on your flock.

Hurry to the shop to avoid disappointment, or call us on 01773 747849 to ensure you get your copy put aside.
