Grew up playing the original game with my family after we got it as a gift. We loved the goofy doodles of cows on the cards and descriptions of what they did. As well as the fact we HAD to pilliage dice and money from our other games, so there was less pieces in this game to keep track of (my mom loved that part the most). So when I heard this new version was out I just HAD to get it. It does not disappoint! Wondeful new artwork, easy rules to learn, and a super addictive game to play! And with this one all accoutrements are included! No pillaging needed. My husband and I are currently getting all of our friends hooked on this game.

From the manufacturer
Mad cows in England. Unexploded bombs in France.
You’re a savvy entrepreneur who’s found two problems with a common solution. Round up a herd of mad cows, give them a stirring pep talk, and march them through the bomb-riddled French countryside.
At the beginning of the game, players start the 'pot' by anteing 500 each. You will spend money to buy cows, and then earn more money when those cows find bombs and explode.
That’s the basic idea, but of course there are cards that steal cows, cows with special abilities, and even some cows that cost you more money when they explode.
At the end of each turn, you’ll roll the die to figure out which cow finds a bomb. This might be your cow or one of your neighbors.
If you manage to blow up your own cow, you’ll earn some extra money as well as the special ability of the city whose bombs you’re disposing of. After visiting 12 cities, your adventure is over, and the player with the most money wins!
