A light western-themed card game in which players push their luck driving cattle, playing cards to build a herd while judging when a rival is bluffing about what they hold. Quick rounds and a family-friendly rules footprint in the Grandpa Beck's house style.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Betting and Bluffing — players announce how many cards and a single rank they are playing; opponents may challenge if they suspect a lie, triggering revelation and penalties or rewards depending on truth.

- deck cycling — when the draw deck runs out, the discard pile is shuffled to form a new deck, extending play and requiring memory and adaptation.
- Deck Manipulation — when the draw deck runs out, the discard pile is shuffled to form a new deck, extending play and requiring memory and adaptation.
- Hand Management — after finishing a round, players draw seven new cards to continue playing until a target point total is reached.
- hand management with replenishment — after finishing a round, players draw seven new cards to continue playing until a target point total is reached.
- point tokens and round progression — correctly bluff or survive to deplete your hand yields tokens (20-point tokens for finishing a round) and rounds continue until the deck runs out, with discards reshuffled for new rounds.
- truth-telling vs. lying with penalties — declare a quantity and rank truthfully or deceptively; if caught lying, the bluffer loses a card (penalty) and the caller can gain a benefit; if truthful, the caller loses a card from their hand.
- up-and-down bidding sequence — cards are numbered 1 through 7; a turn can push the bid up or switch to a downward sequence as players try to outbid the previous declaration.
