Who it's for

Loud family tables of four to six, and anyone who wants a card game where the youngest player has a genuine chance.

Not for you if…

You want thinking time or turn order, or your group hates games decided by reaction speed. It also falls flat with two players and is hard to find outside German-speaking shops.

Vibe's take

Frantic and silly, played at speaking volume plus twenty percent. Rounds end almost as soon as they start.

About this game

The pigs have climbed onto the muck heap and you want yours gone first. Everyone dumps pig cards as fast as they can, and the moment farmer Henry or the boar Eberhard shows up on top, the pile turns into a scramble.

Shed your hand in real time, not in turn orderFarmer and boar cards that flip the situationRounds short enough to replay instantly
