Taurus

 

Bulls are running free in the pasture and are waiting for their new owners. Aim of the game is to fence in as many bulls as possible using posts and wire. You can build one or more fences, the shape is irrelevant, it is only important that the fence is closed. If you own the most valuable herd at the end of the game you win. In your first move you place two posts in adjacent holes and join them with wire. Then in each round you must place wire and if necessary place a post. To close a fence you must use a neutral wire. The bulls within the closed fence are – beginning at the neutral wire and in clockwise direction – chosen one by one by the owners of the wire pieces in the fence. At the end bulls of one color score points in relation to the number of bulls, 1 scores 1 point, 12 score 78 points.
