About the Game

The object of this children's game is to be the first player to make his cow stand on his feet by placing four holey cows onto his cow's base. Each player receives a solid color cow which has pegs sticking up. The deck of holey cows (cards with different shaped holes in them) is shuffled and the first player tries to match a card to his cow base. If the hole does not match, the card is passed to the next player and so on until the correct matching cow is found. The owner of the matching cow now draws a card to start a new turn. The first player to get four cows onto his base, stands his cow upon its feet, receives a blue ribbon and wins the game.
