It's a wild race to the top! Will you be greatest goat or get kicked off the top spot?
In Mountain Goats, roll dice to move your goats to the top of 6 different mountains. If you're at the top, score points as long as you stay there.
You can share spaces with other goats on the way up, but there is only room for one goat at the top of each mountain! If someone else's goat moves to the mountaintop, they kick you off and you'll have to start your trek over. Mountain Goats is a combination of luck and strategic planning. Plus, we've got the best goat meeples this side of the Matterhorn!
Mountain Goats is a game about timing. Not only do you need to get to the top of the mountain, but get there when no one else is in position to knock you off. Depending on the rarity of the roll, the mountain's elevation is different. Should you use those harder rolls, even though other goats are right behind you?
Keep an eye on your opponents! Maximize your score, but also making sure you don't let anyone else score too much.
Knocking each other off the top doesn't feel too mean because you can only knock back goats that are in a scoring position. It isn't a devastating setback, but a normal part of the cycle of the game.
