Is Battle Cows similar to the Battle Sheep board game?

Yes! Battle Cows is the premier mobile spiritual successor to classic hex-pasture tabletop games like Battle Sheep (by Blue Orange Games / Francesco Rotta). It features the same beloved stack-and-split territory mechanics: players place procedural hex pasture clusters, place their 16-cow herd, and take turns splitting their stacks to leap in straight lines until blocked. Battle Cows expands this formula for mobile with a 50+ stage puzzle campaign, smart computer AI cows, special interactive tiles (Golden Pastures, Fence Gates, Rocket Pads), and pass-and-play for 2 to 4 players on a single device.

Is Battle Cows really 100% playable offline without Wi-Fi?

Yes, Battle Cows is 100% playable offline. The Barnyard Campaign, Play vs AI, and local Pass & Play multiplayer all run completely on your device with no active internet connection required, making it perfect for travel, road trips, and flights.

How does the Split and Leap rule work in Battle Cows?

On your turn, choose any herd stack you control that has two or more cows. Leave at least one cow behind to hold the hex, then launch the remaining cows in a straight line along any of the 6 hex directions. Your cows slide until they hit an obstacle, another herd, or the pasture perimeter.

How many players can play Battle Cows together?

Battle Cows supports 1 to 4 players. You can play solo against three difficulty levels of AI or progress through 50+ campaign puzzle levels. For family game night, up to 4 players can share a single phone or tablet using Pass & Play mode.

What languages does Battle Cows support?

Battle Cows is fully localized with native support for English, French (Français), and Arabic (العربية) with dedicated Right-to-Left (RTL) interface support.

THE RULE OF "SPLIT & LEAP"

Unlike chess or checkers, your cows move in straight hex lines until hitting an obstacle or pasture edge.

1️⃣ Leave at least 1 cow behind to hold ground

2️⃣ Launch remaining herd in a straight line

3️⃣ Encircle rival herds so they cannot escape!

HOW TO PLAY IN 60 SECONDS

No complicated handbooks or tedious setup. Battle Cows takes 1 minute to understand and a lifetime of fun to master.

🧩

Build the Pasture

At the start of every match, each player takes turns placing procedural hex clusters. You create the battlefield together — no two maps are ever the same!

💡 Pro Tip: Create narrow bottlenecks to trap aggressive rivals early!

🐄

Stack Your Herd

Place your full 16-cow herd on any edge tile. Your fortress is ready — now plan your offensive vectors across the meadow.

💡 Pro Tip: Corners provide safety, but center positions offer maximum mobility.

⚡

Split & Sprint

Select your stack, choose how many cows stay behind, and launch the rest in a straight hex direction until stopped by fences or tile edges.

💡 Pro Tip: Never leave single cows isolated where they can get walled off!

👑

Dominate & Win

When all herds are trapped or the meadow is completely occupied, the player controlling the highest number of pasture tiles wins the game!

💡 Pro Tip: Control special Golden Pastures for massive territory score multipliers!
