Got Your Goat
A party game of stealing goats!
3-6 Players | 20 Mins | Ages 10+
Every player starts off with a small number of goats and has one aim — to be the first to get six of them into their own enclosure. The problem is that the only way to obtain them is by getting them from the other players. On your turn, you draw one of the 104 Game Cards and then read out the task. This might involve flicking a goat into the target that is printed on the lid of the box. The players could stack the goats one at a time until one of the towers collapses. Other tasks include shooting a rubber band, spinning a coin, balancing, tossing or simply finding the goat that the Drawer has hidden in plain sight before fifteen seconds have elapsed. Some of the cards put two players into a challenge, others involve a third person, some include all the players at the table, and some leave you to deal with a goat-related consequence on your own.
Should you win, you take one of the other player's goats and bring it into your own enclosure; if you lose, then one of your own goats will escape.
The goats that are in your enclosure must not be touched. As for the goats that are still in your herd, they can be taken by other people. If you have six penned goats, then you are the G.O.A.T., but should you lose your last goat, all the others will win together.
