O'Grady's Goat 1906

The game of O’Grady’s Goat consists of a small pamphlet that contains a story with blank lines left in the tale. Also in the box are numerous cards with five phrases written upon them.

One player is chosen to be the main storyteller. This player will evenly deal out all phrase cards face down in a pile, in front of each player. The storyteller will then begin reading the narrative provided in the pamphlet. During the story, the reader pauses at each blank line shown in the tale. On this pause, players take turns quickly filling in the blanks by reading a phrase from their cards. The game is over when the story is completed.
