Scape Goat

Players act as a circle of billy goat criminal masterminds who just pulled a major heist and now must pin the blame on one unlucky goat. On each turn players trade cards, make deductions, and place evidence to steer suspicion toward a chosen target while trying to avoid becoming the scapegoat themselves. Hidden roles and shifting accusations create social deduction as players gather information and mislead others. Rounds end when the cops arrive and the accused is revealed; scoring depends on who is blamed. The game emphasizes bluffing, hand management, and inference under uncertainty.
