Each time you visit you the dungeon you will have an overarching goal that you need to achieve, but you can also pick up side quests and even some odd jobs from the tavern to further modify your adventure.”

Summary: “Players take on the role of crazy cows wandering in a not-so-static field and trying to conquer as much green patch of land to graze as freely as possible. In the rivalry that exists between cows, you want to be the first to poo or claim a green patch of grass, and fart as much as possible to slow down the other cows. But don’t forget to pay your taxes for your methane abominations… Some lucky cows can get occasional help from goats or donkeys, while others prefer to fool around with bulls and proliferate to increase their family power.”
