Pass the Pigs

Fun game that can be played by the whole family. Even the youngest love tossing the pigs and counting points. Nice packaging and easy scoring. Pigs are small, so watch where you toss them. Have a blast and pass the pigs!:)

This is a really cute game if you're looking for something casual. It's small and portable and can be played by anyone who can count. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone who likes to have games around to play with friends or family. You can play it in 10 min if that's all you have, or play it over and over again for hours.

My father has loved Pass the Pigs for years, ever since we played the game at a friend's house. We had the game ourselves for many years before it went missing [my mother denies throwing it out, so it really is a mystery]. When I found it online, my father was overjoyed that we could play the game again. The premise is quite basic, you roll the pigs as you would dice and gather points depending on how they land. It seems like a gamble, but it involves remembering what the various positions equal point-wise [there is a card for those who have a bothersome memory, but to survive at my house, it is better to know the points without consulting anything] and knowing when it is time to stop, because a "pig out" involves you losing all the points that you have accumulated during that turn. As a tool to teach moderation, it is first rate.

I would suggest this game to any one who asked me for something not too taxing, but still engaging ang fun.

How could a game involving little rubber piggies for dice not be fun?! My family of college age kids and adults love playing this on family trips. the traveling case is quite handy and light-weight. One piggy did need his tail clipped a bit to help him roll right though. never had to do that to one before.

Good bang for the buck. A fun little game. Good for travel, too. Maybe the only educational benefit is learning the laws of probability. Otherwise, it's just fun. My 10 year old and I really enjoy this game. I think it would be appropriate for anyone 6 years and older.
