Innovative tabletop game, with zombie kittens, goat drones, and internet trolls. We Have Goats is a tile-placement racing game that's easy to pick up. The goal is to get each of your goats to their home pen, while building the board with tile cards and obstacles. Goat-astrophe cards shift and rearrange the tiles (goat-nadoes, goat-quakes, goat-namis & goat-portals), and the "Goat Lab" cards give your goats special abilities. Also, there's a chupacabrasaurus.
