About the game
Kuhno is an addition to the "Crazy Eights" genre. The aim of the game is to be the first to get rid of all cow cards and to yell out at the right time. Instead of matching numbers and colors there are four discard piles around a central cow pat. The fly on top of this cow pat dictates which spots a cow needs to have in order to be allowed to graze when and where. Kuhno is the perfect fit for everybody who either loves Crazy Eights already or is otherwise ready to fall for this great addition to the genre. Not surprisingly, the aim of the game is to be the first to get rid of all cow cards and to yell out at the right time. Instead of simply matching numbers and colors though there are four discard piles around a central cow pat. The fly on top of this cow pat dictates which spots a cow needs to have in order to be allowed to graze when and where.
