What it is

A sunny meadow full of fence posts. Take turns building one fence between two posts. Close the fourth side of a pen and a lamb hops in, and you build again. When every fence is up, the player with more pens wins. Play Pip, Bramble, Olly and Sage (who plays every ending perfectly), solve tricky endings, or play a friend.

What children learn

For fun: thinking about what your move gives away, counting rows of pens, and the clever leave-two trick. PlayTime games keep stars but are not counted as learning evidence.

What it teaches

  • Turn-based strategy

How to play

Tap the gap between two posts to build a fence. Keyboard: arrow keys move between fence gaps, Enter or Space builds. Easy levels warn you when a fence would give a pen away and let you take a move back.

Plays with: Touch Mouse Keyboard
