Product Description:For 2 or more players
Go hog wild with the pig-tastic game, Pass the Pigs. Players attempt to rack up points by rolling the pig dice - but if they're not careful they might 'Pig Out' and lose all their points. Pass the Pigs is the sizzlin' fun, shakin' bacon game!
Editorial Review:
How's your tolerance for puns? You'll need some for Pass the Pigs, a simple game of chance built around a pig theme. Instead of dice, you roll two cute pink piglets, and you gain or lose points depending on how the critters land. For example, if both land on all fours, called a "double trotter," you get 20 points; if they land lying opposite each other, called a "Pig Out," you gain no points and cede your turn. There are a number of other rules as well as a variation called "Hog Call." This would be a good travel game (the pigs, instructions, and scoring pad fit in a small, tidy box) or a fine present for someone who's, well, into pigs! --Elisa Murray

pass the pigs is addicting, January 8, 2009

Ron L. JacobsThis game looks and sounda like it would be ridiculous, but it is actually so much fun that you pretty much can't stop playing it. It is also small enough and simple enough that you can play it anywhere that there's a flat surface to roll the little piggies. It's like rolling dice, except they're pigs, and the way that they land (standing, laying, leaning, etc...) determines how many points you get - or if you lose your points. ou keep rolling until you want to stop and keep your points or you go bust. First person to 100 points wins. Play for fun, money or whatever. It really is a great little game. Well worth it.

This is a small, sturdy, and creatively contained game. Evaluate your expectations of it. It's clever to give and receive but the novelty wears off quickly. Still, for passing time it's far more fun than tic tac toe. Long term, we'll keep in the car for doctor appointments and such.

We purchased this about 10 years ago and it goes everywhere. The rules are based on the dice game "Crap out". We modify them to create a game that can be stopped at anytime. We play with them while waiting for appointments, at restaurants or even while waiting for the car to be serviced. The only downside is that the dots have worn off but we just used a sharpie and put them back on.
lots of fun for 6-12 year old kids, and adults too, November 11, 2008

bethMy boys get a big kick out of playing this game. I love that it comes in its own portable case. We had a similar one years ago that came in a big box. It also is good in learning to add but I'd say the educational value isn't its main positive. It's just a fun thing to toss pigs on the table and see how they land. We even take it to the nursing home and play it with the residents and they love it too. Even though they can't always figure out their points.
