Wiggling Cow

Pull hay bales out from under a wobbling wooden cow, one careful tug at a time.

Elsa the cow balances on a heap of grass bales, and you have to pull bales out from under her with a little hay fork without toppling her. Every bale you free is a point. Every wobble is a held breath.

Who it's for

Families with kids around six who love wobbling towers, and anyone who wants a short physical game with no reading required.

Not for you if…

You want decisions, strategy or replay variety, since every game is the same challenge. Small hands may also struggle with the fork, and copies are scarce today.

Vibe's take

Slow, tense and physical, like a farmyard cousin of a tumbling-tower game. Everyone leans in when it is not their turn.
