Unexpected news for goat enthusiasts: Goat Simulator is branching out into the card game arena! This surprising development has many eager to see how the chaotic spirit of the original game translates to a tabletop experience. The game is slated for release later this year.
Coffee Stain North, the creative minds behind the Goat Simulator franchise, are collaborating with MOOD Publishing, known for their board game adaptations of titles like Deep Rock Galactic and Valheim, to bring this card game to life.
What We Know About Goat Simulator: The Card Game
Details are currently scarce, but we know the game will support 2-6 players engaged in a hilarious, goat-fueled battle. Expect the same brand of absurdity that defined the video game series, now neatly packaged in a card game format.
Launching on Kickstarter later this year, Goat Simulator: The Card Game promises a physical card-playing experience. If you've ever experienced the digital delights (or destructive capabilities) of a virtual goat, you can probably imagine the potential for mayhem in card form.
Santiago Ferrero, Creative Director at Coffee Stain North, perfectly captured the game's essence: “Chaotic animal-based video games are so last year. That’s why we’ve partnered with MOOD Publishing to release a chaotic animal-based card game instead! You’ve seen goats on your screen; now it’s time to bring them to your table.”
From April Fool's Joke to a Genre Unto Itself
What began as a lighthearted April Fool's Day joke in 2014 has blossomed into a surprising and enduring phenomenon. The Goat Simulator franchise has successfully traversed various platforms, from PCs and consoles to mobile devices (iOS, Android, and Apple Arcade), maintaining its relevance throughout the years.
With Goat Simulator 3 continuing the series' legacy of absurd gameplay, the addition of a card game is a testament to its unexpected longevity. In the meantime, you can explore the existing Goat Simulator games on the Google Play Store.
