Rules
Your mission?
Reach Mont Saint-Michel before everyone else by building your path tile by tile!
Mont Saint-Michel is accessible via 4 entrances, but only one entrance will make you win the game!
To find the right one, visit the sheep. Each sheep represents the entrance in front of it: North, West, South and East.
When a player lands exactly on a Sheep tile, they secretly flip the sheep to discover which entrance is in front:
Right entrance!
Wrong entrance!
End of the game
When a player reaches exactly Mont Saint-Michel, flip the sheep facing the entrance to check if it's the right one:
Green sheep > Victory!!!
Red sheep > Back to start and the player skips a turn.
👉 In team mode, victory is collective:
If a member of the Breton or Norman team manages to enter through the right entrance, the whole team wins!
