Created by social entrepreneur Peggy Kligman, The Goat Game
is a relationship and dating game packaged in a burlap feed
bag, utilized as a therapy tool in psychotherapists’ offices
and living rooms for women who struggle in cycles of unhealthy
relationships and/or in the need for dating advice and tips.
Its purpose is to promote healthy relationship and dating
behaviors. Open dialoguing and fun interchanges between players
establish an easy rapport while creating a support group
atmosphere and therapeutic outcome. By playing the game,
women identify their baa-aad misbehavings through
the non-threatening barnyard personas. In addition, the players
learn how to make better choices thus breaking patterns of
dysfunction which results in healthier relationship and dating
experiences. As Oprah says, “You can’t do better
until you know better.”
THE MISSION of
THE GOAT GAMEis
to instill healthy relationship and dating behaviors
thereby reducing the risks of domestic abuse and violence.
