\"Floats<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The kids and I tried out another new game we got through Timberdoodle last week. This one is called Floats McGoats<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Floats<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s a fun strategy game which can be played by 2 to 4 players. Rules of play are super simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kids<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Goats must be positioned on the game board next to a wooden stick, which serves as a life raft. Play begins with only two rafts in place – the anchor sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Floats<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Other sticks are placed on the game board light side up. As long as the light side remains up, the sticks can be moved to another position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kids<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the sticks are flipped over so that the dark side faces up, they become stationary and can no longer be moved to another spot on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kids<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On each person’s turn, the player has a choice of placing a goat in any open position on the board (ie, next to a stick) or rolling the die and doing what it says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Floats<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rules of play contains a legend that can be easily referenced to determine what each rolled symbol means. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kids<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition to goats, there is also a shark that sometimes makes an appearance on the board, sending whatever goat originally occupied that space back to its owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kids<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Goats also float out to sea (and return to their owner) when the surrounding sticks get moved such that any goat is left in a space that is no longer adjacent to any life raft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Floats<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The object of the game is to be the first to accumulate five points by completely surrounding your goat game pieces with sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kids<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each mama goat that has sticks on all three sides of her space on the board is worth 1 point, while a baby goat that is completely surrounded by sticks is worth 2 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kids<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the roll of the die, you may be asked to stack goats, flip sticks, swap spaces, or declare a shark attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Floats<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My kids had a blast playing this fun, fast-paced game. My daughter won the first round, but her brothers quickly challenged her to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kids<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Floats<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We all found Floats McGoats<\/a> to be a fun, clever game that is unlike anything else we’ve ever played. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Floats<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Does Floats McGoats<\/a> sound like a game your family would enjoy? It is available from Timberdoodle for individual purchase and also as a part of the 2025 6th Grade Curriculum Kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
