Unexpected news for Goat Simulator fans: a card game is in the works! Yes, you read that right. The chaotic fun of Goat Simulator is coming to your tabletop. Expected to launch later this year, this isn't your average card game.
Coffee Stain North, the creators of Goat Simulator, have joined forces with MOOD Publishing (known for titles like Deep Rock Galactic: The Board Game and Valheim: The Board Game) to bring this project to life.
What We Know About Goat Simulator: The Card Game
Details are scarce, but we know it's a physical card game for 2-6 players, promising the same brand of absurd goat-fueled mayhem as the video game series. Expect plenty of card-based chaos!
The game will launch on Kickstarter later this year. If you've ever digitally launched a goat into the stratosphere, you can probably imagine the tabletop equivalent.
Santiago Ferrero, Creative Director at Coffee Stain North, perfectly summarized 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?
Who would have guessed? What began as an April Fool's Day joke in 2014 has evolved into a full-fledged franchise, spanning PCs, consoles, and mobile platforms. Now, with Goat Simulator 3 continuing the legacy and a card game joining the ranks, the goat-simulation genre is alive and kicking.
In the meantime, you can find the original Goat Simulator games on the Google Play Store. Stay tuned for more gaming news, including our upcoming article on the Solo Leveling: Arise update.
