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.

You can end up winning simply because your last card happens to match the big stack allowing you to steal it. 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!

If you’re looking for hilarious card games that will make everyone laugh then you’ve landed on the jack-pot!

Gameplay continues until a player reaches one thousand points or until the group decides it is over. 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!
