Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The original party animals. Try your luck using pigs for dice. Will you roll a sider or start makin' bacon? This game, in its elegant silver-coloured case, remains an- all time classic game to be played anywhere, by anyone. Using the two little pigs as dice, your objective is to score 100 points before your friends do. How those little porkers land determines the points you score. Roll a Double Snouter and score 40 points. Roll a trotter get another 5 points and you’re well on the way to 100. But, do you bank those points or risk rolling again? Roll a Pig Out and you lose all your points for that turn. A roll of a makin’ bacon and you lose all your accumulated points. You’ll need hog-sized helpings of luck and nerve if you’re going to get your snout in the trough... These pigs are truly addictive--a classic game for generations.

'Pass the Pigs' is a very simple but highly addictive game! Each person takes it in turns to throw the 2 little pig dice and score points according to the position which the pigs land in. Our family make the object of the game to be the first person to make it to 100. Sounds easy enough - just keep throwing the pigs until you want to stick with your score... unless the 2 little pigs decide to 'make bacon' (which is when they land touching each other!) and your score is completely wiped out. VERY frustrating! It is also possible to win the game in only 1 go - it just depends how brave or greedy you are feeling! We took this game on holiday and we had a couple of people asking what on earth we were playing, but after watching a couple of rounds they were itching to play themselves! Also a good educational game in terms of maths (adding up your score as you go along). Good game which can be played with family or friends after dinner, when there is nothing on tv , waiting in the departure lounge of the airport or on the balcony of your holiday villa! Don't pass on these pigs - buy them!! :o)

I first encountered this game as a 21 year old while on hoiliday at a ski resort in Germany in 1988. I heard a group of guys laughing histerically, and discovered they were playing with pigs.... I am now 38 and use it for my A level law students (with an adaption: the score they get determines what question they get asked! The lower the score the easier the questions.... It is their favourite! I recommend it for both drunken laughter fun or more serious academic pursuits!

Easy to play. My children love it. Nicely presented and easy to take with us. I was introduced to PTP when I was in my teens - happy that my children (mid teen & pre teen) and I can enjoy it together.

I've never even seen this till a few weeks ago! I must live under a stone. No wonder it's so popular. Very easy to play indeed. You have a pair of pig dice and throw them. However they land you score points. If they land in certain ways, you lose points. The first to 100 wins, that's it! Good for children and adults alike. You get the dice, scorepad, pencils, instructions all in a handy storage case. All well made so should last for years. Great value for money.

I'm now 20 years old, and remember very fondly the Christmas afternoons spent on my grandfather's knee playing Pass the Pigs with the rest of my family when I was just two or three years old even. Before I was old enough to calculate the scores or even understand fully, I would be involved in "passing" the pigs. Then, as I grasped the concept I was taught to help add up the scores.
As an individual who played the game in my early years I recognise both the fun and educational value of the game. Of course, as a child, you are learning to add up without even realising you're learming! Certainly a benefit, making education fun.
It's also a valuable tool in bringing the family together. A perfect Christmas day game, where everyone can get involved.
Highly recommended.

Pass the Pigs is a simple game that basically involves throwing two small rubber pigs. The positions in which they land determines the score a player receives. It might sound a little dull, but the game's twist of genius comes in letting players gamble by deciding whether to throw again in order to increase their score, while simultaneously risking losing all their points. The winner is the first person to reach 100 points.
It's a very easy game to pick up, and comes in a small plastic case with all the other bits and pieces you need (pencils; scorepad and instructions). It is ideal for taking on holiday, and could be played on a train, in a car, or even on an aeroplane. It's a quick game, usually over in five to ten minutes, and suitable for all ages.

We have had this game for many many years and have taken it where ever we go. It is indeed highly addictive, we have played it on a ferry from Miami to the Bahamas and had a gang of children join in and most recently we took it on a trek to Everest Base Camp, the evenings are quiet unless you have something to do. We, our guide and porter played this every evening and had many others watching. As our guide and porter (who were fantastic) loved this game so much we gave it to one of them and so now am ordering another to be sent to the other and of course one for ourselves.

Children's game.
I was a bit disappointed as the pigs tend to land in the same position, and if they do land differently it is difficult to match the position with the score.
