Counting Cows
(also known as "Cow Poker")
What's the best way to count
cows?
With a cow-culator, of
course!
Here is how to play this
classic car travel game. Divide the car occupants into teams - left side
and right side. Decide how you will determine when the game will
end (time, length of trip, etc). Count the cows you see on your side
of the car. If you pass a field full of lots of cows, you'd better count
fast! If you pass a cemetery on your side of the car, you lose all
your cows -- but only if the opposing team calls out "your cows are buried!".
This game gets interesting
when distraction tactics are used to either cause your opponent to miss
cows on their side of the road or to miss a cemetery on your side of the
road. A white horse can count as a bonus. The team with the most cows wins!
Here is a point system you
might like to use to make it a little more challenging: (this
was submitted by reader Jack S.):
1) Cows = 1 point each.
2) White Horse = 50 points
3) Chimney by itself (house
burnt down) = 50 points each.
4) Peg legged man = 500
points each.
5) Gray mule = 100 points
each.
6) Wind mill (out in pasture
pumping water) = 50 points each.
7) Sheep or goats (replace
cows if none are around) = 1 point each.
8) Cemetery = wipes out
points. Start back at zero (0).
