Toys and Games Reviews of Pig Pile

Customer Review: One of the more enjoyable pig games...
Summary: 5 Stars

Much like Uno, the cards are numbered 0 through 12, and the object is to get rid of your hand. With the exception of the "Hog Wild" card (the 0) you must play a card higher than the previous card, or else you must take the entire play pile into your hand. The "Lose a Turn" (4), "Hog Wash" (8), and "Ewe Turn" (11) cards liven up play by skipping a player, resetting the play pile to 0 cards, or reversing direction.

However, serious game players are likely to love or hate the game based upon the "slop pile" feature of the game. At the start of a hand, all players begin with a random set of 3 cards which form the "slop pile". Players cannot play from the "slop pile" until they have played all their known cards. So serious game play is hampered by 3 randomly selected cards at the end. This drives some players nuts, but other players might enjoy this bit of random fun at the end of the hand.

In summary, Pig Pile is a fun, light game that will certainly entertain the young and the young-at-heart, but it might be a bit too random for serious players.
