Cowlien is a cooperative board game that aims to add up to the total by expressing the big and small numbers in cow calls so that they are all within the range of numbers indicated by small cards. In the game, each player aims to evolve the cow into a cowrian (the evolved appearance of the cow in this game) by properly hitting the cow with a beam. The start player will surface one card from the deck of the cow card, and all will check the numbers. Starting with the first player, check the range of numbers on the cards clockwise, and release the beam cards back with a "Moo!" sound, which gives you a rough idea of what the loud and small numbers of the calls are. When one person makes a cry and confirms it, all other players also cry "Moo!" When the power issues a beam card and everyone else cries, each player surfaces the beam card to confirm the result. If the numbers on the beam cards are summed up and within the range of the number of cattle cards, the cow succeeds in evolution. If the numbers are out of bounds, unfortunately, the beef becomes a steak. Place the steak on the cattle card and step aside.
