How to Use

1. **Objective:** Be the first to clear your hand of sheep cards while strategically passing the "Black Sheep" card to your opponents.

2. **Matching the Pen:** On your turn, you can play one or two cards. You can play a card that matches the number currently face-up in the "sheep pen," or play two cards that add up to or subtract to that number (e.g., if the top card is 5, you can play a 3 and an 8 because 8 - 3 = 5).

3. **Drawing Cards:** If you do not have a card that fits the current math equation, you must draw one card from the deck.

4. **The Black Sheep Mechanic:** If you hold the Black Sheep card, you can force it onto another player. To do this, play a sheep card whose number matches the total count of cards in an opponent's hand.

5. **Reshuffling:** If the draw pile is exhausted before a winner is declared, reshuffle the discarded cards (excluding the top card of the pen) to form a new deck.
