The Gaming Goat - Dallas TX

09/29/2021

To our friends in the DFW gaming community:

My name is Stephen, owner of the game store formerly known as the Gaming Goat in the Bishop Arts district of Dallas.

When we opened, our goal was to provide a wide variety of games at affordable prices. This was a vision we shared with the Gaming Goat corporate - so we made the decision to partner with them via Trademark. However, it has become abundantly clear that our values do not align with the Gaming Goat corporate leadership; as such, we have made the decision to become a fully independent store - effective immediately.

We will now operate as House Rules Games! same great prices, same selection (board games, role playing games, and trading card games)

Unfortunately, we will lose control of the page. If you want to stay up to date and continue following us, check out our new page: https://www.facebook.com/houserulesdallas/ and you can visit our website: https://houserulesboardgames.com/

Thank you to everyone who has shown us support since we opened in June. We're proud to be a part of this great community and we look forward to continuing to serve you! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

The Hunt Begins
The dark approaches with Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, the first of two full card set releases returning to the iconic gothic horror plane.
It's time for the Harvesttide Festival, where the besieged humans of Innistrad hope to ward off the coming dark. Far beyond the village walls, werewolves and other horrors roam free.
As the days get ever shorter, will you fight the creatures that lurk in the shadows... or become one?

Double-Faced Werewolf Cards
Never trust a first impression on the plane of Innistrad—any creature you meet may have another, darker side.

Whether it’s werewolves or the humans determined to keep fighting them—even after death—Innistrad: Midnight Hunt is full of double-faced cards.

All of the werewolf creature cards in Midnight Hunt are double-faced cards, plus a double-faced planeswalker card for legendary local werewolf, Arlinn.

On one side, you’ll meet the werewolf’s human form, but flip the card over and you’ll unleash the beast that lies within.

Cascadia (Kickstarter Edition) is here!

This new release from AEG looks AMAZING (illustrated by Beth Sobel 😍) Description 👇🏼

Cascadia is a puzzly tile-laying and token-drafting game featuring the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest.

In the game, you take turns building out your own terrain area and populating it with wildlife. You start with three hexagonal habitat tiles (with five types of habitat in the game), and on a turn you choose a new habitat tile that's paired with a wildlife token, then place that tile next to your other ones and place the wildlife token on an appropriate habitat. (Each tile depicts 1-3 types of wildlife from the five types in the game, and you can place at most one tile on a habitat.) Four tiles are on display, with each tile being paired at random with a wildlife token, so you must make the best of what's available — unless you have a nature token to spend so that you can pick your choice of each item.

Ideally you can place habitat tiles to create matching terrain that reduces fragmentation and creates wildlife corridors, mostly because you score for the largest area of each type of habitat at game's end, with a bonus if your group is larger than each other player's. At the same time, you want to place wildlife tokens so that you can maximize the number of points scored by them, with the wildlife goals being determined at random by one of the three scoring cards for each type of wildlife. Maybe hawks want to be separate from other hawks, while foxes want lots of different animals surrounding them and bears want to be in pairs. Can you make it happen?
