COW CLICKER THE CARD GAME
INTRODUCTION
Card game based on the Cow Click Social Network game.
For 2-4+ players.
DISCLAIMER

GAME END
The Game ends when the Cowmageddon Card is revealed.
VICTORY
The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
Your score is equal to the total Mooney value of all your cows divided by
the number of cows in your pasture. (get the calculators...)
THE DECKS
Players share 2 common decks:
1. The Basic Cow Deck
2. The Premium Cow Deck
MOONEY
Each cow is worth a certain amount of mooney as listed on its card.
Mooney levels are low in the basic deck and higher in the advanced deck.
THE PASTURE
The area directly in front of a player is his pasture.
A player keeps his cow cards in his pasture.
SETUP
(read carefully, this is tricky)
Separate Basic from Premium cards.
Separate out the Starting Stockyard (*) cards from the Premium deck.
Flip these starting 7 cards face up next to the Premium deck.
Shuffle the 2 Decks.
Each player draws 3 cards from the Basic Cow Deck.
Players put their 3 basic cows in their Pasture.
The player who lost the last game goes first.
Play then proceeds clockwise.
When shuffling the Premium deck, remove any 10 cards
including the Cowmageddon card. Shuffle these 10
cards separately, then set them aside.
This is called the Cowntdown deck.
If the Premium deck ever runs out, draw from the Cowntdown deck.
TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 5 Phases:
1. Sale Phase
2. Buy Phase
3. Upgrade Phase
4. Stockyard Phase
5. Out to Pasture Phase
THE TRADE RULE
Players may trade (or Gift) Cows at any time.
Trades (but not gifts) must be acceptable to both parties.
The most Basic Cows you can have in your pasture is 5.
(You cannot gift or trade someone basic cows if it would cause them
to exceed their limit)
You can have any number of Premium cows.
SALE PHASE
You may discard a Basic Cow.
The most Basic Cows you can have in your pasture is 5.
BUY PHASE
If you have 4 or less basic cows in your pasture, you may draw
the top card of the Basic deck and add it to your pasture.
You may only add 1 basic cow to your pasture this way per turn.
If the Basic cow deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
UPGRADE PHASE
You may discard 2 or more cows (basic and/or Premium) to gain an
Premium Stockyard cow with a mooney value exactly equal to the
total mooney value of the cows you discarded.
For Example: There is a 17 Mooney cow available as one of the
7 Stockyard cows. You have in your pasture a 5 moony cow, a 2 mooney
cow, and a 10 mooney cow. (5 + 2 + 10 = 17). You discard them to
get the 17 mooney cow and put it in your pasture.
DISCARD RULE
Basic and Premium cards go into the same discard!
Therefore, if the Basic deck ever needs to be replenished, Premium
cards will show up in it.
STOCKYARD PHASE
If there are less than 7 Stockyard cows available, flip over the top cards
of the Premium deck until there are 7.
Remember, if one of these is the Cowmageddon card, the game ends.
OUT TO PASTURE PHASE
Take the highest Mooney cow from the Stockyard and place it on the bottom
of the Premium deck. If you are into the Cowntdown deck, skip this phase.
