You may attack an opponent's top goat pile (or stack) by producing a goat from your hand (or a wild) that matches opponent's top Goat. Second, they can have an “assisted birth” by playing one goat from their hand along with a matching goat from the top card of the discard pile. It’s a quirky little game that revolves around the cut-throat world of stealing goats from each other. If players cannot complete any of the above-mentioned actions, then they may discard a card and draw a new card.

PS it comes with a coupon code inside the box which can be used to purchase the expansion or another game from them! And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that just as there’s nothing wrong with Goat Lords being similar to Cover Your Assets.

If I only have my base stack and others have top stacks, can I use the Merry Goat Round Card (trade your top goat stack) to trade my base, which is my top and only stack, with another persons top stack? Only so many people can play and one time so sometimes we play two people to a tam to get more players in. Action cards change the strategy of the game and throw twists to your plot to dominate the know Goat World. The player must have a goat card in their hand that matches the goats in the opponent's top pile, or a wild. It is not that easy though as other players can steal or eliminate your herds through either duels or the use of action cards (which have truly zany effects).

Are you willing to battle with your friends, hurt feelings, and play aggressively to become the Lord of the Goats? Everything gets goat crazy when you attack opponents by dueling for their top GOAT Stack to beat your lowly goat friends. This game has been such a hit with everyone we’ve played it with that we end up giving away our copy of the base game as well as the expansion as soon as we finish playing to the people we just played it with because they loved it so much! The creators have certainly shown lots of creativity creating a game that's so entertaining and amusing! Gameplay continues until a player reaches one thousand points or until the group decides it is over.These cards allow you to do things like move a person’s goat stack to the top of their pile, allowing you to then try and steal it.

Every time you win a duel successfully, your goatherd value goes up, making you more likely to win, but watch out! For example, if someone uses an action (not the dread raining fire-goats card), but say the Russian Goatlette, if someone plays Escape Goat, does that just apply to him/her, or does it stop the action? they both love the game, love stealing stacks and particularly love winning the 'mega stack' through careful playing of action cards or wilds. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Complexity: (GO) The game is not complex, but I don't recommend it for the very youngest players in an unsupervised setting. BECOME THE GOAT LORD: The GOAL of this hilariously strategic card game is to become Lord of the Goats!

OBJECT OF GOAT LORDS: The objective of Goat Lords is to be the player with the largest herd of goats by the end of the game. It’s great when you know someone has a Chuck Norris or Leonardo de Caprio stack with several 25 and/or 50 wild cards and you have three action cards to help you steal it from them: play the action card where you ask the player to your left for their highest wild card until you get to someone who has a wild card to give you (players should be honest about it or why bother playing? Each player adds up the total value of their herd by counting the points of each goat in their hand. When the draw pile has been emptied, gameplay will continue around the group until their hands are empty.

I only took off one star for this (when normally it would be at least two stars off) because this is clearly supposed to be a silly game. If you’re looking for hilarious card games that will make everyone laugh then you’ve landed on the jack-pot.
