Description

You’re part of an internationally renowned group of billy goat criminal masterminds, and you’ve just pulled off your greatest caper yet. Stealing the coveted golden hoof right out of the most secure bank vault in Barn City. Someone’s got to take the fall for it, just make sure it’s not you. In Scape Goat, everyone at the table is trying to pin a crime on the same player, all while that player has no idea they’re taking the fall. The twist? That player could be anyone! Trade cards, make deductions, and figure out if you’re the scapegoat before the cops come after you!
