A door

Goat Roundup

A door that is a game, and says so plainly. The herd got loose on the Tennessee homestead: fifteen goats in every color and size the homestead grows, fifteen chickens, five Royal Palm turkeys, white with black markings, one pig named Hamster, and sixteen cats who answer to nobody. You get sixty seconds, one thumb, and a pen.

Built October 23, 2026. Updated October 25, 2026: the controls moved under the field, and Pop out opens the game in its own window without the menu, sized to fit one screen.

How it works

Tap a goat, a chicken, or a Royal Palm turkey to pen it. Goats are worth 10 points, chickens 5, turkeys 15. The goats come in every color and size the homestead grows, from big billies down to kids, and a goat is a goat: every one pens for the same 10 points. The five turkeys are Royal Palms, white with black markings. Hamster the pig crosses the field now and then, slow and important: he takes three taps and pays 50. Buster, the homestead's macaw, flies over the top of the field now and then, fast: tap her mid-flight for 25 points and a squawk, though she is never penned. Do not tap the cats. There are sixteen of them, not one can be penned, and every tap on a cat costs two seconds. The dogs help when they feel like it, and herd a loose animal in for free. Pen all thirty-five herd animals in one round for a 100 point Herd Cleared bonus. The herd gets quicker as your score climbs.
