Scape Goat (2020)

About this game

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! —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
