Toys and Games Reviews of Pass the Pigs
Customer Review: Look Ma, batteries not required
Summary: 3 Stars
I discovered Pass the Pigs more than 20 years ago. Living on a small farm in the backblocks of New South Wales, my circle of friends and I were always seeking games that entertained the whole family, could be played by any number of people and were inexpensive and fun to play. Pass the Pigs met all these conditions. What IS it about this game? Some might call it mindless and trivial and, like most television, perhaps it is, but unlike television, repeat playings never jade - I enjoyed Pass the Pigs in the 80s and the enjoyment has not faded with time. I have only one major gripe. I'm sure that the pigs in my replacement set are smaller than those in my original version. Are the manufacturers sailing so close to the wind that they needed to save that iota of whatever it is they use to make the pigs to appease their accountants? I have given it only one educational star and this has probably downgraded the overall score - don't let it turn you off the game.
Description of Pass the Pigs
For 2 or more playersGo 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!
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
