How it plays
Friends roam the island as a herd of goats, headbutting things, finishing silly tasks and starting one of seven competitive minigames whenever they feel like it.
There is no wrong way to play, so it suits mixed groups who just want to mess about and laugh.
PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series take four players locally or online; Switch and Switch 2 take two.
Each online player needs a copy.
