Designed by Philip Gilbert, this game is easy to learn and can be enjoyed by 2 to 4 players over the course of about 60 minutes.

You'll need to navigate the real-life process of breeding and selecting the best cows, using a combination of luck and strategy to make it happen. As you play, you'll use dice rolling and trading to manage your herd and make progress towards your goal.

It's a fun and educational challenge that's perfect for anyone who loves animals, farming, or just a good strategic puzzle.
