Cowtown cards are always played on the table immediately in order to give the little dogies a place to settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a turn, you play a card from your hand onto a stack on the table. The card you play must be one higher than the top card on a stack. (Cowtown cards are effectively numbered 0.) If you can play multiple cards in numerical order – a Horn-to-Tail Sequence – you can do so; in addition (or alternatively) you can play multiple cards with the same number – a Stampede – onto different stacks when those stacks have the same lower number. Playing a three-card Horn-to-Tail Sequence or a Stampede is worth 1 \"scorecow\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhenever you play a card of matching color onto a stack, you're safe, but if you play at least one card of a different color – a bullish play – then you must draw and discard the top card of the deck. If that card shows a red bull's eye, then you've been kicked and must draw a card. Lay a 10 on a stack and you close that barn, getting to take another turn or pass one of your cards to another player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe round ends as soon as one player is out of cards or the deck runs out. The player with the fewest cards earns 4 scorecows, the player with the next fewest 2 scorecows, and everyone other than the player with the most cards earns 1 scorecow. After four rounds, whoever holds the most scorecows wins!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gryphon Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":445036465,"sku":"101325N","price":9.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Cowtown.png?v=1578608857","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/cowtown","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
