Mountain Goats Review: Run to the Top and Eat Everything You Can!

16/11/24, 0 comments

Goats want to eat, and each one needs to climb to the top of their own mountains. Whoever gets to the top first and stays there eats more and wins the game. As the goats climb, they'll share the same space, but the story is different at the top - there's only room for one. Who will stay at the top?

Goats and Mountains

Like any animal, goats need to eat, and literally climb their way up walls to do that. Believe it or not, you'll often see them climbing trees, cliffs, and massive walls. Their motivation is simple: get food in any way they can.

In the Moroccan deserts, goats climb Argan trees because their fruit smells and tastes delicious to them.

Watch some gameplay:

If you want to improve your logic, math, and strategy skills, Mountain Goats is the game for you!

Players of all ages will love this game because it is beautiful. The goat meeples are simply fantastic, and dice games usually hypnotize even the youngest players. The excitement you feel as you wait to see the dice is always an incredible feeling.

You'll also need great math skills to play this game, as you'll constantly be adding your dice to get the numbers on the mountains.

When you get more than one (1) on your dice, it will be a great opportunity to work on your decision-making skills. You'll be able to pick the numbers you want, so you'll have to calculate the numbers just right to get a value that, added up, matches the value of a mountain you want to climb.

The race to the top will be even more competitive because of the token bonuses, and this will be like a second race for you. You'll feel very tense, but very happy, in a good way!

Mountain Goats is a fun lesson in strategy, math, and logic!

I highly recommend Mountain Goats to your collection!!
