Drunken Goats is a simple yet fast-paced card game that comes with optional drinking rules for those who would like to take their experience playing the game to the next level.

The rules of the game are simple enough, with each player starting by collecting four cards – with the ultimate goal of collecting pairs for four alcohol cards. The players also can use [action cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shot-callers) that allow them to use strategy to get ahead, with options like blocking others, stealing their cards, or swapping their cards out. The cards themselves are designed with [simple yet quirky illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balatro-playing-card-deck).
