Kuhhandel Master

All cows + premium = lots of points!

Horse trading in the true sense of the word: First you bid in auctions for parts of animal Happy Families of different values. Then you try to acquire complete Happy Families whereby horse trading, that is cheating your opponent, is absolutely necessary and allowed. Aim of the game and end of the game are complete Happy Families in front of all players. Whoever owns the most valuable Happy Families in total wins the game, the money cards are of no value whatsoever.

In your turn you decide on bidding or horse trading. If you want to bid you turn up a card, all can bid for it – when all have passed the player offering the card can buy it for the sum of the highest bid from the player who made the highest bid, or take the money from the highest bidder. A premium card brings money for all and you bid for them with the number of cards, not the value of the cards.

If the rat is turned up all must discard a money card in turn, if you take the rat you also get all money cards, rats in your hand score negative at the end.

For horse trading you take any number of cards, your opponent with the same animal cards does the same; if you hold the higher sum you win – thus all Happy Families are completed. You can accept an offer without a counter offer. You cannot do horse trading with premium cards.

This premium cards are a new feature in this Master edition, and so are the rats, but all in all the game is the same – a great game with simple rules, works as well for planners as for those you follow their instincts. A variant for two players is included.
