Run is one of Knizia's earliest abstract games.

Players move one cowboy and one cow each turn in an attempt to move their cows safely across the board. A cowboy can take an opponent's cow. The game ends when all the cows for both players have exited the board or have been captured by cowboys. Scores are tallied for each player by determining how many of their cows have exited the board. The player who has managed to get the most cows off of the board wins.

This game is part of the Abacus wood box series.
