PASS THE PIGS 'Big Pigs' Dice Game & Giant Dice Game

Product Information

Winning Moves kindly sent me a game to review. And I promised to play it with my little girl as soon as it arrived. If one, and only one, of the pigs is lying on its side, that pig scores nothing, and the other pig scores as follows: It first started when we found the pigs bouncing off the table. We’d watch them land on the floor and still count the results. Then we skipped the table all together and went straight to rolling them on the kitchen floor. Pass The Pig’s rules and regulations are ridiculously simple and straightforward, so unboxing the game is not a very thrilling experience. But the game is super compact and travel-friendly. The goal in Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs is the same as in the original game of Pass the Pigs – be the first player to score 100 points. The familiar game play of Pass the Pigs is still there. But the pigs are huge!

The approximate relative frequencies of the various positions (for a single pig), using a standardized surface and trap-door rolling device and a sample size of 11,954, are [4] Position Pass The Pigs Big Pigs (2016) - by Winning Moves Games USA- Each pig measures about 6" and is made of foam rubber. They land in all the same poses as the standard 2 pigs. It includes a larger score pad and a drawstring storage bag. Due to its small size and portability, it made the perfect travel game. (And thus it was played lots on school trips as I was growing up.) I have very fond memories of playing very competitive games in the common rooms of my school. We didn’t get this reaction with the original Pass the Pigs game. But now that we’ve got stress-ball type pigs to toss, we’re throwing pigs a lot more. Pass the Pigs is a commercial version of the dice game Pig, but using custom asymmetrical throwing dice, similar to shagai. It was created by David Moffatt and published by Recycled Paper Products as Pig Mania! in 1977. The publishing license was later sold to Milton Bradley and the game renamed Pass the Pigs. In 1992, publishing rights for North America were sold to Winning Moves Games USA, which acquired the game outright from David Moffat Enterprises in early 2017. [3] Rules [ edit ]

How To Play Pass The Pigs?

One of the games I remember from childhood is Pass the Pigs, and yet I realised the other week it’s not something I’ve ever played with the children. It’s time to put that right and there’s no better time as the iconic game has gone up a notch. But beware, if the pigs land touching each other, it is a serious penalty – the oinker. You lose all your points collected throughout the game. So, be sure to throw the dice with careful strategy! Scoring Points

If their result is an “Oinker” (pigs are touching), the player loses ALL their points in the game so far. If you are one of the few people, who haven’t played this game, brace yourselves, as Pass The Pigs is now making everyone throw oversized stuffed pigs for points! Watch out for bigger laughs and larger-than-life excitement with your family and friends at a party.
