Het Groot Vermakelijk Schapekoppenspel

About this game

Het Groot Vermakelijk Schapekoppenspel (“Large Entertaining Sheepheads Game” in Dutch) is a Game of Goose-like game which is actually a children’s game, but is nice to play for everyone interested in the city of Dordrecht in The Netherlands. “Schapekop” is the nickname for a citizen of Dordrecht because of a saga about trying to smuggle a sheep dressed as a man into the city in order to prevent paying toll for cattle without succes. Players follow a walking route through Dordrecht by dice throwing. Landing on some spots on the route means prosperity, on others adversity (gaining / losing chips and/or going forward/backward), with a description concerning Dordrecht. The first player to reach the end of the route wins the pot of chips / the game.
