Description

In Herr der Ziegen, you'll embark on a fun and strategic adventure with 2 to 5 players, all vying to become the ultimate goat master. This easy-to-learn game, designed by Günter Burkhardt and published in 2008, takes about 40 minutes to play, making it a great fit for a casual game night. The goal is simple: collect sets of goat cards and mark your territory on the modular board to score points. You'll move your goat token around a grid, picking up cards and using them to navigate and collect more goats. As you progress, you'll need to use your cards wisely to achieve the magic number of 8 points in multiple sets. But that's not all - you'll also have the chance to collect milk cans for extra points. And when you've got some goats on the board, the herding dog cards come into play, allowing you to move your cards into your home scoring area where points are doubled. With its unique blend of area majority, tile placement, and strategic card play, Herr der Ziegen is a game that's all about outmaneuvering your opponents and building your goat empire. Whether you're a fan of animals or just love a good challenge, this game is sure to delight.
