    Welcome to the Forum Games Sheep Advent Calendar!
    582-11-KCAL-1.jpg
    Every morning, from the first of December until Christmas eve, you can open up another door on the calendar and receive a Christmas related sheep* question :)

    I plan to ask one question each morning (I'll try to be early), you'll have until 6pm to send me your answer. I'll do a mini reveal that evening

    Also, everyone will start with one Christmas Star. You may use that on any day to double that day's score (hat tip to Kolido for the idea), just let me know when you send your answer

    I'll keep everything in this thread (questions, answers, scores...) so if you want to play, check back here on the Sunday :)

    Think that's it, if I've missed any important details then let me know!


    *in case you've stumbled on this and don't know what Sheep is, think Family Fortunes. You'll get one point for everyone who gives the same answer as you and the highest score wins, so you're looking for the most popular answer each time

    I'm afraid it would be zero for that day!

    If you know in advance you'll be offline though, just let me know. I can send you the question the day before :)
