CRASH! The cows are loose.

A UFO has made an unscheduled landing in the middle of Starfall's ranch. The fence is gone, and now Cowboys and Aliens are racing through town to round up the herd, by any means necessary.

Meet the town of Starfall

Pick a side. Watch out for the robot. Don't hurt the cows.

The Cowboy: a lanky rancher with a huge mustache, duster coat and red bandana
The CowboysRopes, buggies and a stubborn streak. They know every back door in town.
The Alien: a green alien with big black eyes in a purple flight suit
The AliensTractor beams, teleports and phasing through walls. They came a long way for these cows.
The Robot Prospector: a yellow robot in overalls and a straw hat, holding a pickaxe and a pan of gold
Robot ProspectorAlways digging, never helping. He sets off earthquakes, swaps cows and sabotages everyone.
A smiling black and white cow
The CowsFour of them, all loose. First team to corral three wins.

How it plays

Get the cows

Roll and move across the town grid. Land on a cow and drag it back toward your fenceline. Once it's in, the other team can still steal it back.

Collect tools

Play a Tool Card every turn. Cowboys bring Hammer & Saw, Buggy and Backdoor. Aliens bring Tractor Beam, Teleport and Phasing. Bad hand? Swap it at a Saloon.

Build the town

Buildings move, and the Robot Prospector sets off earthquakes, cow swaps and sabotage. No two games of Starfall look the same.

How to winFirst team to corral 3 cows wins. If the tool deck runs out, whoever holds more cows wins. Tied? Reshuffle for sudden death.
