Read the full game description
Party in the Milky Way! All the extraterrestrial creatures have let their body parts whirl around and crisscross in outer space. When the head, body and legs of the same creature have been revealed, the quickest player catches hold of it. Vaca Loca is a high-speed reaction game for a super-terrestrial rush of adrenaline! Vaca Loca – "mad cow" in Spanish – contains 60 square tiles, with each tile showing the head, body or legs of one of twenty different alien animals. Place these sixty tiles face down on the table, then shuffle them. One by one, each player reveals a single tile. Whenever the third tile of an animal is revealed, players race to place their hand as quickly as possible on the head tile of that animal. The fastest player collects the three tiles of the completed animal, placing them in front of him. Anyone who places his hand on an incorrect tile receives a "planet token", which is worth -1 point at the end of the game. Whoever ends up with the most points wins!
