Toys and Games Reviews of Pass the Pigs
Customer Review: Possibly the Greatest Game, Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember when I was first introduced to this insanely fun (and yet somewhat bizarre) game. Just the names of the rolls (e.g. Snouters, Trotters, Leaning Jowlers) can make you crack a smile. It's extremely portable (I've brought it on at least 3 major vacations much to my traveling companions' delight) and even more addictive. When you're playing in public areas, oftentimes people stop to watch everyone crowding around these rolling piggies and loudly arguing over scores - they want to join in, and ask where they can buy such an awesome game! All my friends are head over heels for Pass the Pigs, too. Try playing at restaurants when you're waiting for your entrees to arrive. I highly recommend this sublimely entertaining and somewhat educational dice game!Customer Review: It's all about knowing when to say when...

I've had this game for years and it appeals to people of all ages. Asking people, "hey, want to play Pass the Pigs?" is always evokes an interesting response for those who haven't heard of the game. The way the pigs land determines the amount of points, if any, you get for that roll. You can keep rolling, but part of the strategy of this game is knowing when to say when because if you continue to roll you could "pig out" and lose all the points you accumulated for that round. I love the ultra portability of this game. The only downside of this game, if you can call it a downside, is that I can't take it on camping trips because I can't rely on the picnic table being level. If the table isn't level then it seems to take forever to get to the 100 points.Customer Review: anywhere/anytime fun

This pocket sized game is perfect for amusing kids (and adults) at restaurants, while you are waiting for your order. That is, if the whoops of glee don't disturb those dining nearby. You "roll" two little rubber pigs like dice and get points according to how they land. A Snouter (pig lands on his snout) is worth more than a Sider (pig lands on his side), for instance. The educational part is when you have to count up the points. The scorekeeper is supposed to add current points to accumulated points, which can be tricky but good practice for the younger ones. Children as young as three or four can enjoy this if playing with adults. For them, you might want to change the rules -- one bad throw can wipe out a player's entire score. Just ignore that rule.Customer Review: I've been passing my pigs for over 10 years!
Summary: 5 Stars
What an awesome game! A counselor introduced me to Pass the Pigs when I was a kiddo at summer camp, and now I'm in college, and still rolling the pigs! It's great fun, and I've been throwing the same pair of hogs for the past decade.How can it be educational? As with any game of chance, there are different probabilities for different situations that might arise during game play. There are many different strategies, and if you look at this game from a strategic point of view, it can be very educational to someone learning statistics or probability.
Some of my friends and I have even come up with a drinking game for Pass the Pigs. ...
Take the plunge, and buy "Pass the Pigs". It'll be the most fun you've ever had with a dice game.
Customer Review: Goooooooood Game
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my pigs years ago and my husband and I have played the game, the kids (now adults) and all the grandchildren have played. I didn't realize my youngest granddaughter had never played Pass the Pigs so on my last visit I took the game and she loves it (she's 8). It's a silly little game, small, you can carry it in your pocket but it's fun--easy to play, quiet except for the moans and groans when you Pig Out. Helps with the counting and a great way to pass the time in a slow restaurant. I'm buying two this time, one for the youngest grandchild and one for the only Great Grandchild (he's not old enough yet to play but he will be soon). We have all had fun with the Pigs. I've gotten my moneys worth many times over. Thanks.
