Plastic pigs race around a ring of cards, and they cheat. A pig that runs into another one leapfrogs over it, and that chain can carry a pig from last place into the lead in a single move. Take the lead and you collect food, but you only keep your food if your very last move of the round scores again.
Who it's for
Families with younger children and anyone who enjoys watching a plan get flattened by a pig.
Not for you if…
You want meaningful control over the outcome. Luck runs the show, and this 1992 title is rare and shows its age.
Vibe's take
Bouncy and unpredictable, with a lot of shouting when a chain of leapfrogs goes off.
