One person is a Goat-Herd, and the others are the Fainting Goats. At the beginning of a round, the Goats spread out away from the Goat-Herd. The Goat-Herd then attempts to tag the Goats, who have their eyes shut and are moving around. When a Goat is tagged, they open their eyes and fall over. They then proceed to count to 15, while the Goat-Herd attempts to tag the other goat(s). If the Goat gets to 15 before all the other Goats have been tagged, they may get up and close their eyes. The game ends when all Goats are simultaneously “fainted.” Goats should take care to know their environment, and proceed with caution in order not to run into trees, toilets, buildings, etc.
