Row Your Goat
NEW
Move fast, make matches, and get ready to scream!
Row Your Goat is a rapid-fire picture-matching, fast slapping game. Get rid of your cards by placing them in a grid. The second you see a matching set of 3 in a row, slap the nearest Lifesaver. Hurry, there's only a few of them. And if you don't grab one fast enough, you're left collecting cards. When you're down to one card, scream “ROW MY GOAT”, play your card, and slap a Lifesaver to win.
It's fast, frantic, and fantastic as a party game, kid game, or a showstopper for family game night.
What's In the Box?
Row Your Goat comes with:
- 60 Cards
- 5 Lifesavers
Plus, one instruction manual that you will probably skim.

Fun twist. Fast paced with great art as always. Would love a little more variety in the art, but it still rocks.

Fun twist on a classic game of spoons. The card art is perfect oatmeal. The stacks of cards get a little messy when you slap, but that actually makes it more fun.

We had a lot of fun with this deceptively simple looking game! The ever-growing piles of goats and the pressure of waiting for a set to come up made for a manic intensity that we didn't expect! This would especially be a good game for younger players, given the excitement and need for quick reaction time! A set coming up would always be such an event that we pretty much always forgot whose turn it was after!
There were a few quality-of-life style things that we do wish the game had. The card design, while super cute with all the different goats and floats, would benefit for being more mirrored so that seating orientation didn't matter as much for spotting sets - we also wondered if someone color blind might struggle with this game. And while this is more of an issue of our table, for a huge table with only 4 players we all had to sit next to each other in an L shape at a corner, which made things a bit easier for those sitting on the end with only one floatie to go for. Despite these issues, we had a great time!

Row Your Goat is another example of what Exploding Kittens does so well: elevate a really simple idea into an incredibly compelling, ever replayable and snappy party game. It does a great like magic trick of keeping your focus constantly moving so you miss the sneaking aspect that makes the game really riotously fun.
It’s not going to be for everyone. I played with a friend who has trouble tracking patterns and he got a little frustrated with the game (and kind of us). Also, like a lot is Exploding Kittens games, it says for 2+ players but it really sings at 4 or 5.
Ideal as an amuse bouche for a game night that might have headier stuff once you’re tired of stealing away life savers.

A rather fun fast game works well with 2 to 4 people. Need to have a good table space to sit around. Seems to get rather loud.
