Peloponnes: Goat Expansion is an expansion for Peloponnes released in 2012 for 1–6 players, 50 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Bernd Eisenstein and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Auction / Bidding, and Tile Placement.
With the Peloponnes: Goat Expansion, players have a new resource in Peloponnes that can be exchanged for other resources or for money. Goats are acquired when acquiring a tile or during each round (depending on where the goal icon is located on the tile) and they're tracked on the Food chart, but usable only when the player acquires a tile with a goat on it. Peloponnes: Goat Expansion also includes a "Trade" expansion that allows the player who is last in turn order to trade one resource for another, depending on the trade tile revealed that round. Peloponnes: Goat Expansion includes components for another player, allowing for play with up to seven players if the first expansion is also used.
Peloponnes: Goat Expansion supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Peloponnes: Goat Expansion is 50 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Peloponnes: Goat Expansion for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
