How it works (3 mechanics)
  • [2]_other:trick_avoidance— “winner of the game is the player who collected the most goat's heads without going over the limit
  • [3]_other:dynamic_goal_limit— “after the first four tricks, the players know how many goats the central hill supports; represents the goal limit
  • [2]hand_management_under_draw— “every player receives eight cards, and eight tricks are played; proven strategy is to spam opponents with goats
