$20.00, ages 7 and up, 2 to 5 players, about 30 minutes, designed by Reinhard Staupe

Surfing cows are the order of the day in this game. The tide goes up and down, and every time it changes one player gets an obstacle card. Try to avoid crashing on another player's obstacle card, because the winner of the game is the player with the least amount of wipeouts.

Cowabunga comes with 58 wave cards, 21 obstacle cards and 17 plastic surfing cow pawns.

Cowabunga was published in 2006 in some European countries as Fettnapf. It was on the recommended list for the 2006 Spiel des Jahres, Germany's award for Family Game of the Year.
