Turn the Tide Strategy Card Game (2004) by Gamewright

At first glance, the combination of sheep and ocean tides might seem like an odd pairing for a highly strategic card game. But, once you get your feet wet (sorry, couldn't resist), we think you will agree that the theme is a perfect complement to the game's other unique characteristics. In particular, the simultaneous "blind bidding" element makes for some very interesting player dynamics. (Hint: don't play all of your low cards too early in a round.) And the fact that everyone gets a chance to "one up" their opponents by playing each other's hands, is one of the most exciting twists we've yet to see in a card game. Sheep Ahoy!

How to Play: Shape up or sheep out! A huge storm is threatening Shepherd's Island and it's up to you to stem the tide. In this captivating card game, try to outwit your opponents by playing number cards wisely to stay afloat. Hang on to your life preservers to win the game. However, be careful what you play or else you could end up in deep water! A great strategic game for the not too sheepish.
