G. BUMPS

Bumps act as any other piece – they can be jumped over or stacked upon. But they can't be moved, so a Shepherd can't slide with a bump stacked under it.

F. END TILES

You must end the puzzle with each end tile occupied solely with the piece depicted on it. If pieces are stacked on an end tile, the puzzle isn't solved.

A Herd can cover an end tile to solve the puzzle, but only if no Sheep in this Herd is stacked upon. ( I. Herds)

The stacked upon piece stays under the Shepherd and slides with it. When the Shepherd jumps the next time, it unstacks and leaves the other piece behind.

A stack can contain more than 2 pieces.

E. SHEEP

Sheep can't be moved on their own, but they can be jumped over or stacked upon.

A Shepherd can jump even with another Shepherd stacked on it (which is relevant for some late-game puzzles).

D. STACKING

If a Shepherd jumps onto a tile occupied by another piece, it stacks on this piece. This piece can be either a Shepherd, a Sheep or a bump. ( E. Sheep, G. Bumps)

An end tile doesn't stop sliding by itself.

C. JUMPING

A Shepherd can also jump in cardinal directions. It always jumps over another piece or a stack and for exactly 2 spaces. It can't jump over unoccupied tiles or over the edge of the grid. A jump doesn't automatically continue into a slide.

Your goal is to end the puzzle with each end tile occupied by the piece depicted on it.

B. SLIDING

A Shepherd can be slided in cardinal directions. When it slides, it can't stop or change direction until it hits the edge of the grid or another piece occupying the next tile on the path.

A. SOLVING A PUZZLE

You set up a puzzle by placing the correct pieces onto the grid, as shown by little markings in the corners of the tiles.

Black pieces are known as Shepherds, white pieces are known as Sheep.

Huh, I can't seem to be able to edit the alt, at least on the desktop Bsky. I'll post them here in the comments, but beware, they are wordy, cause they cover 2 whole sections from the book:
