Sales of the game were a way for Borsuk to support his family after he lost his job following the closure by the German occupation authorities of Warsaw University.

However, for decades, all copies were thought to have been lost during the Warsaw uprising and the aftermath of post-war chaos in Poland.

[2][3] In subsequent years the game has been released in various languages, including English, German and Italian.

In the modern release, Have You Herd?, the goal is to get one of each of the farm animals: rabbit, sheep, pig, cow, and horse.

There are a number of special events on the dice as well, such as the wolf (causes you to be unable to multiply and causes the player to roll the two dice and lose the animals shown unless they have a guard dog), the fox (cannot multiply animals, eats all but one rabbit unless you have the guard dog), the guard dog (protects you from a future wolf and foxes), the skunk (allows you to cause another player to miss their next turn), and the trade "T" (allows you to only trade with opponents instead of the bank).
