Some games are old, others are outdated, but when a game stays a hit for years, it becomes a modern classic.
Today, we're more than proud to offer you Stefan Dorra's "Turn The Tide", also known as "Land Unter" in Germany, or "Sauve Moutons" in French.
Awarded all over the world and being published in more countries than you can calculate, Turn The Tide is a simple but not simplistic game for 3 to 6 players where you'll try to care about the sea and your sheep.
Players are dealt a hand of 12 from a deck of 1-60 (the remainder go back in the box for the whole game), and then lay out marker cards that show the other players the strength of their hand. Another scoring deck of 24 has values of 1-12; two cards from this deck are laid face up.
Players choose one card from their hand in secret and reveal them simultaneously. The highest value played takes the lowest scoring card, which goes face-up to a pile in front of you. The second highest takes the other card likewise. Remaining cards are discounted. Then look at everyone's face-up deck: the highest scoring player turns one of his or her marker cards over! At the end of a round, players score according to their markers cards that they managed to save.
There is a further twist! Players then pick up all their playing hand, and pass it clockwise. So as each round commences, you are using the cards previously used by your neighbor! Are you smarter? Can you make a better fist of the same hand your neighbor had? Play out rounds until all players have had each hand. Top score wins.

Poceni ovčja ladja! Turn Tide je zdaj na površju!
Nekatere igre so stare, druge so zastarele, a ko igra ostane hit več let, postane moderna klasika.
Danes smo več kot ponosni, da vam ponujamo "Turn The Tide" Stefana Dorre, znan tudi kot "Land Unter" v Nemčiji ali "Sauve Moutons" v francoščini.
Nagrajen po vsem svetu in objavljen v več državah, kot si lahko izračunate, Turn The Tide je preprosta, a ne poenostavljena igra za 3 do 6 igralcev, kjer boste poskušali skrbeti za morje in svoje ovce.
Igralci dobijo kombinacijo 12 iz krova 1-60 (preostanek se vrne v polje za celotno igro), nato pa položijo markerske karte, ki ostalim igralcem pokažejo moč njihove roke.
Druga točkovalna enota 24 ima vrednosti 1-12; dve karti iz tega krova sta položeni obrnjeni navzgor.
Igralci na skrivaj izberejo eno karto iz svoje roke in jo istočasno razkrijejo.
Najvišja odigrana vrednost ima karto z najnižjim številom točk, ki gre navzgor do kupa pred vami.
Drugi najvišji prav tako vzame drugo karto.
Preostale kartice se popustijo.
Nato si oglejte krov z licem navzgor: igralec z največ točkami obrne eno od svojih markerskih kart!
Na koncu kroga igralci dosežejo rezultat glede na svoje označevalne karte, ki so jih uspeli rešiti.
Obstaja še en zasuk!
Nato igralci dvignejo vso igralno kombinacijo in jo podajo v smeri urnega kazalca.
Ko se začne vsak krog, uporabljate karte, ki jih je prej uporabljal vaš sosed!
Ste pametnejši?
Ali lahko naredite boljši pest iz iste roke, ki jo je imel vaš sosed?
Igrajte runde, dokler vsi igralci nimajo vsake kombinacije.
Zmaga najboljši rezultat.
