Overview

Stuck on boring sheep duty again. Everyone knows there haven't been any wolf attacks in months. Maybe it's time to make this job a little more exciting: I'll cry wolf and see who comes running!

Can't wait to see the looks on their faces... hey, what was that noise?

The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a bluffing game for 3-5 players. Each player takes a turn as the "boy" and will look at the top card of the deck and either cry wolf or pass. The deck is filled with lots of sheep and just a few scary wolves. If a boy cries wolf, each player decides whether he is telling the truth or lying. After they all give a thumbs up or thumbs down, the card is revealed. If it was a lie, the boy gets points for each player that fell for it. If it was the truth, players that thought it was a lie will lose points. Play until a player reaches 10 points, or 5 wolves attack.
