Goat Simulator 3 and Catan are swapping their signature livestock

Goat Simulator 3 and its predecessors embody the spirit of chaotic fun as you play as a goat whose goofball shenanigans tend to result in mass destruction and general devastation on the game’s urban island. All of that is a far cry from the regulated, competitive environment of Katan, the decades old table game that is also available in numerous online formats. The presence of livestock – goats and sheep, respectively – unites these two very different games, and to celebrate April 1, the goat and sheep switch places.

How exactly does that work? In Katan, the trade is immediately visible to online players. The game’s sheep cards are replaced with the face of the goat from Goat Simulator, who is called Pilgor. According to a press release about the crossover, “Katan players on Board Game Arena and Katan Console Edition will see Pilgor in her interim position as Katan‘s new goat for a limited time until 23:59 (GMT) [or 7:59 ET] April 1st.”

If you prefer the board game version of Katan, you still have a chance to join this prank. US residents can use the Katan studio contests here to potentially win Pilgor-themed resource cards for use in their home games. There are 30 packs of Pilgor cards available to win; fans can enter the contest until April 7.

In the meantime, Goat Simulator 3 will rename itself as Sheep simulator 3And KatanPilgor’s lost ewe will do its best to live up to Pilgor’s reputation. She used to be quite gentle and accepting of her fate no matter who trades her and for what, but that all ends now.

“We couldn’t be happier to welcome Katan‘s sheep to San Angora,” said Santiago Ferrero, Creative Director at Coffee Stain North, in the event press release. “Sheep are essentially fluffier goats at the end of the day, so we know she’ll be a good fit. The island could also use a break from the tricky Pilgor, which we were able to transfer to Catan for a while to complete. as their source goat. Since she’s technically 32 in goat years, it’s about time she put her hooves to the test!”
