Cows in boardgaming

I love cows. I really do. They're amazing animals that have really had a large impact on the human race. I've spent my fair share of time on a dairy farm and I've milked plenty of heifers. I have a huge amount of respect for them. But more than that I find them to be really cute. They're big and tough, but they have a softness to their spirits. They're really gentle creatures and all they really want to do is eat grass. This GL is for games with cows either in the game, on the box, on the board...whatever. If the game has anything to do with cows, list it here.

Cosmic Cows is a really neat game. Its like Yahtzee, but it actually has strategy, tactics, and player interaction. Playtime is quick and the game is light and fun.
The coolest thing about the game is the bits. I love the little plastic cows. There are a lot of really neat pics in the gallery of the cow pieces which show how cute they are.

Okay, so its a bull and not a cow. You know what the difference is?
At any rate, its a bovine animal and the game's theme is built around it. Not nearly as cute as the Cosmic Cows, but the artwork is pretty cool nonetheless.

These little surf cows may be even cuter than their Cosmic cousins.

A very cow-intensive game.

This version has cowples. The later version has plastic cows, which are nice, but this edition is a better game.

Many games have cows, and some games have bulls, but how many have bull semen? I have not made an exhaustive study, but I would surmise that there are very few. This might be the only one, in fact.

This was actually the first game I thought of when I saw the Geeklist. One of my all-time favorite titles and box illustrations. I have no idea if the game is any good, but I'll always have a warm spot in my heart for it just because of the name.

If I was a cow, I'd be angry about having a bucket stuck on my horn too!

Classic Cow.
Elsie has changed over time. To the left is the 1940's version. In the 1960's (below) she became modest and started wearing a dress and is clearly more cowsmopolitan.

Cows are violent, bloodthirsty beasts. They just lack the necessary weaponry...
