"You don’t frighten us English pig dogs, go and boil your bottoms you sons of a silly person."
"I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
Now, go away, or I shall taunt you a second time-a!"
Fetchez la Vache! 3-in-1 Game Set includes:
Custom-designed beechwood board, 2 dice catapults, 21 meeples (20 human, 1 bovine), 4 dice, 1 doubling cube, 30 checkers, and rules for THREE games.
1 - Fetchez la Vache! A madcap backgammon-based game that pits two teams against each other in a race to capture a cow and leave the field with it alive, all while dodging catapulted farm animals and scathing insults French taunts. (Note: this activity requires the core book.)
2 - Squashez l'Anglaise! Flip the board over and let fly with this point-based, historically accurate, terribly violent castle-siege simulator.
3 – Backgammon! A fully functional backgammon board (for those who wish to appear smarter than people who play checkers but can’t be arsed with chess).
Specifications and components:
- A custom-designed and illustrated birchwood game board.
- Approximate dimensions: Open: 17.13" long x 21.65" wide x 1.48" high (43.5cm x 55cm x 3.75cm); Closed: 17.13" long x 10.83" wide x 1.48" high (43.5cm x 27.5cm x 3.75cm).
- 21 printed wooden meeples of varying shapes and designs (knights, priests, retainers, and the like...plus the cow, of course).
- 2 fully functional and highly dangerous to mice wooden dice catapults.
- A pair of woefully under tested, wonderfully launchable dice.
