Mutton

Mutton is a deductive game for two players.  One player plays as wolves who disguise themselves as sheep in order to eat as many sheep as they can.  The other player is the farmer who tries to kill the wolves before they eat too many sheep.

The full rules are available here

Only one round is played in this version.  The first player sets up the board and decides how many dead sheep the wolf player needs to cause in order to win.  The second player then chooses to play as the wolf or the farmer.  The farmer player wins if he can shoot all 4 wolves before the targeted number of sheep are killed (either by being eaten by the wolf or shot by the farmer.) The wolf player wins if the targeted number of sheep are killed before all 4 wolves are killed.

If you prefer to turn off the score sheet and keep score yourself, printable score sheets are available at Cameron Brownes site.

Robots: Dumbbot currently chooses randomly from valid moves and is fairly easy to beat.
