Gederne er sluppet ud af folden og det er godt for ulvene inde i skoven.
To spillere skal spille henholdsvis ulvene og gedehyrden, der skal ud i skoven og lede efter gederne. Hyrden skal have dem med hjem. Ulvene har andre planer. Skoven er en labyrint, man skal finde rundt i og hver spiller skal holde styr på sine egne og modspillerens special powers.

The goats have escaped from the pen, and it's good news for the wolves in the forest. Two players will play as the wolves and the goatherd, respectively. The goatherd must go into the forest to search for the goats and bring them home. The wolves have other plans. The forest is a maze that players must navigate, and each player must keep track of their own and their opponent's special powers.

Gederne er flygtet fra folden og er nu faret vild i skoven!

Du spiller som Den Samvittighedsfulde Gedehyrde, Det Sultne Ulvekobbel, De Nedrige Kultister eller en af flere andre asymmetriske grupper. Det er dit mål at udforske skoven og lokalisere gederne. Den, som kan finde dem og gøre krav på dem, kommer til at afgøre deres skæbne.

Foromtale
I GOAT (eller blot G’ på fynsk) spiller du som en blandt flere unikke grupper. Du bevæger dine brikker gennem skoven i søgen efter geder.

Når du udforsker en af de sekskantede skovbrikker, vælger du hvilken vej buskadserne skal vende, hvilket forhåbentlig lader dig sætte den op til egen fordel. Så, når en ged bliver fundet, skal du bruge dine særlige evner til at frembringe de omstændigheder, der lader dig gøre krav på den. Men du er nødt til også at tage højde for de andre spilleres evner, for de vil forsøge at forpurre dine planer.

Den Samvittighedsfulde Gedehyrde søger, med hjælp fra sin trofaste hund, at samle gederne med lyden af sin klokke og føre dem sikkert tilbage i folden. Hans økse lader ham hugge vej gennem buskadserne, og hvis andre kommer for tæt på hans geder får de sig en ordentlig omgang hagl.

Det Sultne Ulvekobbel æder enhver ged de fanger. Den skræmmende Store Stygge Ulv kan nedlægge dem helt selv, men de Glubske Ulveunger har brug for hjælp fra en fra koblet. Sammen sniger de sig mellem træerne og bruger deres hyl til at skræmme byttet i et baghold, inden de slår til.

De Nedrige Kultister lusker gennem skoven hver for sig. De leder efter geder, skræmt af deres egne skygger. Men hvis de samles, bliver de en skræmmende styrke, der farer gennem skoven indtil der kaldes til messe – så, efter at have ofret endnu en ged, glider de tilbage i skyggerne hvor de kom fra.

Og som om disse ikke var nok, kan der være Nævenyttige Naboer, Gyselige Spøgelser, en Vild Buk og andre, der søger gederne, hver med deres egen tilgang, og hver med deres eget formål.

Når hele skoven er udforsket og der er gjort krav på alle geder, vinder den spiller, der har flest af dem.

The Goats have escaped the fold and are now lost in the woods!

You play as The Dutiful Goatherder, The Hungry Wolfpack, The Wicked Cultists or one of several other asymmetric factions. It is your goal to explore the forest and locate the goats. Whoever can find and claim them will decide their fate!

Presentation
In GOAT, you play as one of several unique factions, moving your pieces and searching through the woods for goats.

As you explore the hexes of the forest, you get to choose the orientation of any thickets there, hopefully setting them up for your own benefit. Then, when a goat is found, you must use your special abilities to set up the conditions that allow you to claim it. But you need to take into account the abilities of the other players as well, because they’ll be trying to foil your plans.

The Dutiful Goatherder, aided by his faithful dog, seeks to gather the goats to the sound of his bell and lead them safely back into the fold. His axe lets him cut through thickets, and if others get too close to his goats, he can scare them off with a healthy dose of buckshot.

The Hungry Wolfpack will eat any goats they catch. The scary Big Bad Wolf can take them down all by itself, but the Ravenous Cubs need the aid of a packmate. Together, they sneak through the woods, using their howls to scare prey into an ambush before they pounce on it.

The Wicked Cultists slink through the forest on their own, searching for goats and jumping at shadows. But if they gather together, they become a fearful force, rushing through the woods until the call to mass sounds – then, after sacrificing another goat, they sink back into the shadows from whence they came.

And as if those weren’t enough, there might be Meddlesome Neighbours, Ghastly Ghosts, a Wild Buck and others seeking the goats, each with their own approach, and each for their own purposes.

Once the entire forest has been explored and every goat has been claimed, the player who got the most of them wins.
