Buckaroo! (1970)

About this game

The saddle-stacking game with the moody mule. Put on the shovel, balance the bottle. If it's too heavy, the mule will kick. See how much he can carry. You never know when he'll snap and send everything flying. Also available as Ali Baba with a camel.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
