## Description
The Mountain Goats: Expansion Pack introduces two major additions to the base game: a new 'Big Mountain' mode and support for up to 5 players. In the Big Mountain expansion, goats compete in an epic climb where only one can occupy each step - and only those reaching the highest will score. Strategic decisions become more tense: is it worth risking the original hills or fully committing to this new climb? Beware: goats committed to the Big Mountain might end up scoring nothing if they don't advance enough. The expansion also increases the player count to 5, making games even more chaotic and fun. Originally released as part of the 10-Minute Games: Expansions bundle, it's now available separately for those wanting to supercharge their mountain goat races.
