A puzzle board game
by Blaž Urban Gracar
​
Guide the Grey Family home through
more than 65 hand-crafted puzzles!
​In Herd, you move tactile black and white pieces across the pages of a richly illustrated book, on a journey to find their home. From the creator of the acclaimed thinky games LOK, Abdec and All Is Bomb, Herd is Blaž Urban Gracar's latest exploration of the physical puzzle possibilities.​​
Tight grids and minimalistic rules pack a punch - untangle each solution in the flowy rhythm of sliding, jumping and stacking the figurines. Travel from page to page, meeting strange creatures along the way - you might find page-transcending secrets in the linework of their illustrations...
