Cosmic Cows™ Gets Star Treatment Makeover from Playroom

North Hollywood, CA - (April 6, 2009) – Playroom Entertainment today announced that one of its best-selling games, Cosmic Cows™ has been given star treatment with an out-of-this–world makeover and is now shipping in its new, revamped package design and upgraded quality components.

Dan Rowen, president of Playroom, said, “We were able to give Cosmic Cows a new retail friendly portrait style box and adjust the game board, so that players have the best possible experience playing the game.”

Playroom addressed the fundamental piece of the game itself – the game board. The original manufactured game board contains a gutter at the fold, which posed a standing hazard to the game’s adorably cute and funny miniature cow pawns.

“No more cow-tipping,” Rowen joked. “We incorporated a ‘euro-style’ game board slicing technique that virtually eliminates the trench when the board is unfolded. The pawns now move smoothly and easily up and down the game board.””

“We are constantly investigating ways to provide the best quality of product without effecting affordable price points,” Rowen explained.

First introduced in 2005, the multi-award winning Cosmic Cows, (MSRP $20, for 2 players ages 8 and up), is one of Playroom Entertainment’s best-selling products. The game’s silly setting of cow abduction folklore, casts players as aliens that have been attracted to one area in the galaxy to try to abduct unsuspecting cows. When players gather for a game of Cosmic Cows, they choose different tractor beams in order to pull three of the cow miniatures from the board. The player that uses the best interplanetary strategy and positive energy, when rolling the dice to draw the cows into his Zone, wins.
