Tower of Cows
Play this cool version of Emily's favorite game! (Vicita and D.W. highly recommend it, too!)
To start, print and cut out the cow pieces and game cards. (Ask an adult for help with the cutting. Print onto card stock if you want sturdier pieces.) Then check out How to Play for game rules and ideas.







To build a tower, cows must be stacked with TWO side-by-side on each layer.
So, when you place a cow, make sure you leave enough room for a second cow to be placed next to it.
There are three ways to play:
- Easy:
- See how many cows you can stack before your tower falls over.
- Harder:
- Shuffle the Number Cards and put them updside down in a pile.
- Players take turns picking a card from the deck and stacking the number of cows shown.
- The first player to knock any cows off the tower gets a point.
- Play as many rounds of the game as you like.
- The winner is the player who has the FEWEST number of points when you are all done.
- Hardest:
- Shuffle the Trick Cards and the Number Cards together and put them upside down in a pile.
- Players take turns picking a card from the deck.
- If it is a Number Card, the player stacks the number of cows down.
- If it is a Trick Card, the player stacks one cow while doing the trick described.
- The first player to knock any cows off the tower gets a point.
- Play as many rounds of the game as you like.
- The winner is the player who has the FEWEST number of points when you are all done.
