About the game
100% Beef Showdown is a card-drafting game in which players try to assemble "poker" hands from different parts of beef and bone. In each of three rounds, players draft a hand of six cards, then create a "cow" of five cards, flipping the sixth card face down to serve as the head of the cow. If you win the round, then you score the points shown on the head of the cow, while other players get to keep their head cards as "stock" for use in the subsequent round.
