Pass the Pigs
Throw two toy pigs as dice, bank your points, or risk it all for one more roll.
Who it's for
You are heading to a campsite, pub, or train and want something tiny that gets everyone laughing. Great as a pocket-sized game for a mixed group.
Not for you if…
You want a game with strategy. Your only real choice is when to stop, and the pigs are not impressed by plans.
Vibe's take
Giggly and tense in short bursts, like a tiny casino for pigs. Everybody watches the pigs mid-air and groans in unison when they pig out.
About this game
Two little plastic pigs in a pocket-sized case are your dice. You throw them, and where they land decides your score: a snouter, a trotter, a leaning jowler, with values from 1 to 60 points. After each throw you choose to cash in your points and pass the pigs, or roll again and risk everything. If the pigs come up in a non-scoring pose, like one on its left side and the other on its right, you pig out and lose what you built that turn. The first to 100 wins. It comes with two pencils and a scoring booklet, which is enough for a pub table, a campsite, or a car trip.
