Tower of Cows. Print out all three pages to play 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:
  1. Easy:
    • See how many cows you can stack before your tower falls over.
  2. Harder:
    • Shuffle the Number Cards and put them upside 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.
  3. 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 shown.
    • 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.
