    Description

    Paddy McGinty's Goat is an Australian game based on a 1917 war-time comic song of the same name. Performed by the American duo The Two Bobs (Bob Alden and Bob Adams). It tells the story of an aggressive goat that enters the village of Killaloe in Ireland. The original score also has the goat defeating the German army and the Kaiser

    A simple roll and move game where players use a small wooden marble to move along a path by the roll of he dice. The playing board is slightly elevated at one end to create a slope. The path mostly contains a series small holes for the marble to sit, but every so often on the path is a much larger hole where if a player lands directly on the large hole by the dice roll then the wooden marble falls through and rolls down the slope to the start and the player must begin again.

    A player may "Butt" an opponent forward if he directly lands on that player. First player to reach Paddy McGinty's Goat's right eye is deemed the winner.
