MOW (Polish edition)
You must try this game
Herd the cows and lead them to the barn, but beware of those that have flies buzzing around! MOW is a simple and engaging game in which we take turns playing cards to the herd on the table. If we cannot or do not want to add another card, all the cows that have been played go to our barn. The catch is that some of them bring flies with them, and the winner will be the one who has the least bugs when the game ends.
How does it work?
- Depending on the number of players, we use one or two decks of cows for the game. Each deck contains 48 animals with different numbers. Some of them are accompanied by 1 to 3 flies (this is marked at the top of the card).
- Each player must perform two actions during their turn: play a cow card from their hand and draw a new card.
- Cards from the hand are added to the herd on the table. The card added must have a lower or higher number than the other cards in the herd. We place it at the appropriate end of the row.
- If any player cannot or does not want to add a card to the existing herd, they collect all the cows on the table and place them facedown in front of themselves, creating a barn. They then play a card from their hand to create a new herd.
- In addition to the ordinary animals, there are also special cows in the game with particularly annoying effects and a large number of accompanying flies. They allow players to set traps for opponents and change the situation around the table.
- The game ends when one of the participants has 100 flies in their barn. The player who has collected the least will win!
Why will you love this game?
- MOW is an incredibly simple mechanism with essentially one rule of operation: you play a card and draw a card. However, thanks to the effect cards, it becomes engaging! The special cows also add more interaction because after playing them, we can change the direction of the game, better targeting our attack.
- In the instructions, you will find information about how many cards of which type each deck consists. Carefully observing the situation at the table allows for better estimation of probabilities and more intelligent trap-setting!
- Charming illustrations of cows and a special, mooing box will undoubtedly encourage the youngest ones to enjoy playing together.
- The game was designed by Bruno Cathala, the author of titles such as Mr. Jack, Cyclades, or Jamaica.
