Mountain Goats Is Going Legacy, There Is a Yeti Now. KS coming soon!
If you have ever rolled a handful of dice, squinted at a mountain track, and muttered “this goat is never going to make it,” good news: your favorite alpine pastime is getting a much bigger climb.
Allplay has officially announced Mountain Goats: Legacy. This campaign-driven evolution of their beloved quick-playing dice game takes everything you loved about the original and cranks it to eleven, higher peaks, evolving abilities, new challenges, and, yes… apparently a yeti.
At first glance, Mountain Goats might not seem like the obvious candidate for a legacy treatment. The original game, is elegant, light, and famously easy to teach: roll four dice, combine them into values that match mountain tracks, and race your goats upward to score points while trying not to get knocked off by your friends.
If that description sounds simple, that’s because it almost is. That balance of simplicity and tension is exactly what endeared the original to families and casual groups alike.

What Legacy Brings to Raise the Mountain
But Mountain Goats: Legacy takes that familiar core and layers on a delightful assortment of surprises:
Dynamic Abilities : Rolling the new goat symbol activates powers that change every mission. No two sessions will feel quite the same.
Campaign Progression: Your goats unlock stronger abilities, face tougher climbs, and encounter evolving challenges as your story unfolds.
Transforming Terrain : The mountains themselves may shift beneath your hooves, keeping every expedition fresh and exciting.
These additions aim to amplify what makes the original fun , the strategic dice grouping, the playful tension of summit jockeying , while adding narrative weight and long-term progression that players love in legacy experiences.
The announcement teases that the emotional arc of a session now swings higher Hoorays! and lower Oh NOES! than ever before. Fans of the original know that moment when a summit is within reach , or when a rival steals it away , is pure table drama. Legacy promises to heighten all that with unpredictable twists and player powers that evolve over time.
Mountain Goats: Legacy is set to launch for backing on January 13th, and there is a Deluxe Edition being teased by all play, for those who want something extra on their tabletop. Hit that follow button on Kickstarter so you don’t miss the drop!
Whether you’re a seasoned goat climber or curious about how a legacy twist can transform a light dice game into a full-fledged adventure, this announcement is worth a peak. Just… watch out for that yeti. We hear he’s a bit grumpy about goat traffic on his slopes.
