Gatwick Games Goat Lords, Hilarious, Addictive and Competitive Card Game with Goats, Best Card Games for Families, Adults, Teens, and Kids, Makes for Great Stocking Stuffers, 2-6 Players

Really fun to play with a group of friends as it's fast paced and even when it's not your turn you have to watch out for other people stealing your goats. As people have mentioned it's a bit like Cover Your Assets but there are some action cards which give it a fun twist. I think it's the action cards that make it faster paced and it's more entertaining because of them. I only have played it with adults but I can imagine it being great for a family too. It doesn't take too long to learn to play which is great too. The artwork is fun and the goat theme makes it entertaining to say the least. Great game!

This game is fun. My daughter loves it - she’s 7. It’s unique . Nice to find something totally different

I bought this for my husband for Christmas because he loves the Exploding Kittens game and this looked similar, it took us a while to get to grips with the rules but everyone who played enjoyed the game. Bonus that the cards and pictures are fun!

We as a family have a diary goat farm, so when I saw this it was impossible not to buy. Got a great email from Gatwick Games which I forwarded to my daughter - her comment- "well thats' different! Hope no goats get delivered. we're full". Buy the game you'll get the email!!! Seriously though, we needed to see the video to get into it, but now, everyone loves it; visitors are introduced to it and love it, and the laughs and shrieks never stop. Also, granddaughter is speeding up her mental maths adding up her scores to see if she's won. She's 10 and loving boards games, learned to use strategies in other games and applies them here- usually successfully. Well made cards, colourful and amusing (to a goatkeeper anyway). Compact enough to take on trips/holiday etc. Would give more stars if I could.

We recently purchased Goat Lords as we love to play board games and card games as a family. We often find that games tend to bias the adults, as they understand tactics and gameplay better which makes it fairly tedious for younger players who rarely win (unless the adults let them!). Goat Lords however introduces enough 'chance' and luck so that younger players can win. We play with our 10 and 12 year old...they both love the game, love stealing stacks and particularly love winning the 'mega stack' through careful playing of action cards or wilds. All in all, it's one of our favourite games... and easily small enough to take on holiday too. Highly recommended.

A friend asked my to buy this for her son, after doing her research. However, the game is complicated to learn and we have not yet enjoyed a game. Now its the back of a cupboard - waste of money.

Great game!! Our family are super into all the weird and wonderful card games, aka unstable unicorns, exploding kittens, llamas unleashed etc and it's my challenge to find a new one for my sister every Christmas. This one was a great find. It's better with more players. We first played with 3 and found it quite easy to put pairs of goats down. Next time we played there was 5 and it was much more challenging; a bit more strategy was needed! Didn't take long to work out the rules. Highly recommend :)

Fantastic game, great fun, my husband and have only just got this game after reading all the positive reviews, and weren’t disappointed, we had great fun and many laughs. We have now arranged a games night with some of our friends to share the experience. Would definitely recommend.

My husband, son, and I love this card game. Not only is the art work cute but the Action Cards help give the game a little extra strategy. 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?), plus one more action; that action is to play the card where you pick a player to put a stack of your choice to the top of their stack plus one action; the plus action would be to play another action card, especially the one where it tells you to steal the top stack of any player and now you can steal the big points stack you just had someone bring up to the top of their big stack AND you get one more action; the last action would be to put another two matching goat cards on top of your own goat stack to “protect” your new, just stolen goat stack! I’m not sure why some of the 1-3 Star reviews had issues with the rules as they are pretty straight forward and the action cards are self explanatory. There were also some 1-2 star reviews from people saying Goat Lords is a blatant rip off of Uncle Becks Cover Your Assets but I don’t agree. This game has the action cards which help add some strategy to your play as I outlined above. Plus the art work makes this game so much more pleasant to look at. This game is much more fun to us than Cover Your Assets and the action cards and art work play a big part in that assessment. I think it’s completely wrong for people to accuse Gatwick Games of stealing Uncle Becks Cover Your Assets game and simply switching it up by giving it a goat theme. Cover Your Assets is an updated knock-off of a couple of games going back 50 years! And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that just as there’s nothing wrong with Goat Lords being similar to Cover Your Assets. It’s all a matter of whether you want to play a game with action cards and cute and funny art work or a more streamlined similar mechanic game like Cover Your Assets. 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! We end up buying another copy of both and end up giving them away each time! I’ve bought four copies of Goat Lords and the expansion after giving away our other copies to two teen girls in college, a couple in their late 20s, and my in-laws who are in their late 70s and play card games with other elderly couples in their building. Anyhow, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and their own review but I don’t think accusations of stealing are the way to deal with that opinion. But the game and decide for yourself. And if you’ve never played Cover Your Assets, get that one too and decide for yourself. I’m in no way shape or form related to nor do I know the creator of this game or anyone at Gatwick Games. I just think this is a very fun card game if you just want a casual game night.

Bought this for my son, but it quickly became a hit with the whole family. It’s easy to learn, fast-paced, and packed with silly goat-themed fun. The gameplay mixes light strategy with hilarious moments, making it perfect for casual game nights. Everyone gets involved, and the rounds move quickly enough to keep younger players engaged. Definitely one of those games that’s simple to pick up but hard to put down.

We buy new games every year, some are ok, nothing to rave about, some terrible and some fantastic. Goat Lords definitely falls in the fantastic category, we bought for Christmas and have played countless times. Even the most picky in the family loves this game. I leant this to neighbours who are now also raving about this game. We have now ordered the Celebrity pack and can't wait to get this.

Excellent

This is a great game!
