Android Farmer, Electric Sheep is a roll-and-write game for two players. It is designed to be interactive with take-that actions and plenty of hate-drafting. The future is now and you're a farmer that is obviously an Android. You're working to program all the wonderful Electric Sheep that your android brothers and sisters need in order to dream. You and your android-nemesis will be programming sheep into a data store that has limited space. If you've filled a partition in your data store and attempt to program a sheep into it then you'll experience Buffer Overflow. Too much of that and the game will end, and you'll have plenty of negative points to show for your efforts. Additionally, the game can come to an end once a data store has been fully filled (which happens through proper planning, of course). It's not as simple as placing sheep into the data store, plenty of actions like Hacking, Code Injection, and ICE Breaking will get in your way and make things a little more difficult. Whichever android has made the best decisions and taken the most timely actions will end up with the most points and be deemed the winner.
