Mountain Goats: Legacy (2024)

“I think it is a triumph of light gaming. It's a small box. It really, really works. I was engaged by the story. It's adorable.”(11:26)

“So uh with all being said, I love the game. This pretty much replaces Mountain Goat for me unless I just want to bring that small box with me”(8:41)

The reviewer highlights Mountain Goats Legacy as an absolutely incredible playtest, praising how each session and scenario brilliantly layers on new twists, mechanics, and board-altering surprises to transform the classic gameplay.

The reviewers found Mountain Goats: Legacy to be an engaging and fun campaign implementation of the original game, praising how the legacy elements and shifting abilities add a fresh tactical layer to the light dice-rolling experience.

“If you have been piling up the legacy story games and nobody's playing them with you, this might be the one that you can get to the table with them.”(3:59)

“I really enjoy what Mountain Ghost Legacyis doing. It takes the core Mountain Goats formula and it makes it moregified. For me, it makes the game much more interesting.”(16:39)

Tom, Chris and Wendy take a look at Mountain Goats Legacy!

“We had a great time playing Mountain Goats. We, we played it with each other. We played it as two players. We played it as four players.”(6:58)

“Overall I really enjoyed this game and I would play it again. I like Mountain Goats and I like the dice rolling in Mountain Goats, so it's one of those games where I was like, oh, I will play dice rolling games when it's those types of dice rolling games.”

“If you like Mountain Goats, this seems like a natural thing to try. Again, I don’t think I’d really consider this a Legacy game, but suffice it to say that every game in your campaign will be different”

That said, Mountain Goats falls short for me, especially when comparing it to the thrill ride that is Can’t Stop. There’s less tension, less holding your breath and waiting for your opponent to bust.

“I'm going to land this on a six just because it isn't my genre of games. I still think it's a super solid game. I think you will very easily know if this game is for you or not.”(12:16)

“Mountain Goats: Legacy isn’t a great game, but it is a great way to get kids to play a game. I would never, never in a million years, play Mountain Goats: Legacy with other adults”
