This announcement caught everyone by surprise: Goat Simulator is getting its own card game adaptation! Naturally, we're all curious to see how this chaotic concept translates to tabletop gaming. The physical card game is slated for release later this year.

Development studio Coffee Stain North, creators of the original Goat Simulator, has partnered with MOOD Publishing for this unconventional project. The publisher brings experience from similar adaptations including Deep Rock Galactic: The Board Game and Valheim: The Board Game.

What Do We Know About Goat Simulator: The Card Game?

Details remain scarce at this stage, but we do know the game will accommodate 2-6 players in goat-fueled competitive mayhem. Expect the same absurd humor that made the franchise famous, now condensed into card game format.

The physical card game will debut through a Kickstarter campaign later this year. Anyone familiar with the original game's physics-defying goat antics can probably imagine the energy this tabletop version will bring.

Santiago Ferrero, Creative Director at Coffee Stain North, perfectly captured the project's spirit: "Chaotic animal-based video games feel outdated. That's why we're collaborating with MOOD Publishing to create a chaotic animal-based card game instead! You've watched goats wreak havoc on screens - now it's time to unleash them on your tabletop."

The Unlikely Evolution of Goat Simulation

What began as an April Fool's joke in 2014 has blossomed into an unexpected gaming phenomenon. From PC and consoles to mobile platforms and subscription services, the goat-themed franchise has maintained its popularity through the years.

With Goat Simulator 3 continuing the series' legacy of absurdity, the arrival of a card game spin-off seems a natural progression. While awaiting more details, fans can revisit the original Goat Simulator games on Google Play Store.
