What to Expect

Players draft six cards each round to assemble a 'cow' of five parts, with the sixth card placed face down as the cow's head that determines scoring. Winners earn points from the head card, while others keep their head cards as stock for later rounds. This creates a tactical experience combining drafting and hand management over three rounds.

Who Is This Game For?

Suitable for players aged 14 and up who enjoy fast-paced tactical card games. The 30-minute duration fits well for casual game nights. It's an accessible family game without complex rules, ideal for those seeking a short, strategic challenge.

How It Works

In each of the three rounds, players draft six cards and select five to build a 'cow'. The sixth card is placed face down as the head, which dictates the points for the round winner. The winner scores the points, while others keep their head cards as stock for future rounds, making decisions and card management key.
