Pass the pigs

Aaahhhhh, pass the pigs, a great family game that reminds me of holidays abroad as a family when I was just a young lass, getting over excited and competitive trying to trash my dad night after night in our hotel room...... .......Well pass the pigs was just a memory untill it randomly got pulled out of a cupboard at a friend's house recently and after an entralling game in the wee hours of the morning, I decided it was time to share the details of this great little game with you lot out there. If you have been unlucky enough not to have come across this game before then put simply it is a game in which, instead of rolling the dice the players roll ...  Read the complete review

have been having a bit of a clearout at home this week and have come across a few items I had forgotten existed. Quite exciting really!!! I came across a game called 'Pass The Pigs'. It is one of the many games created by MB Games, the seventies and eighties King of Board games!! I have looked on the internet and found one website which sells the original 'Pass The Pigs' for £9.99. www.iwantitcheaper.com. What was the first thing I did on discovering the game? Exactly, I opened the black plastic 'pigskin' case to reveal the inch long rubber piggies with their intricate details. Pink noses, curly tails, even the udders ...  Read the complete review

Want a game you can play in the pub or at home? A game that anyone can play so long as they can throw a dice, well try Pass the Pigs. The game itself comes in a plastic case with a pad, pencil and two rubber pigs with a black dot on one side of each pig. The object of the game is to throw the pigs and however they land that is your score. That is the simple part, but so long as the Pigs don’t tell you to stop you can carry building up your score. The risk is that you can loose all the points you have made that turn or even worse for the whole game on the throw of a pig. Your friends will dare you to go for more points, but do you take the risk, will playing ...  Read the complete review

This is a very similar game to Cosmic Wimpout and other dice games. Even if you don't use dice. The main component is a pair of plastic pigs, about 2 cm's long. Each pig has a dot on one side of it. Play is very simple. Throw the pigs. See how the pigs land, and score points. More points are socred for more unlikely landing positions (a leaning jowler for example is where the pig lands on his cheek and one leg, balancing precariuously). You can continue this for as long as you desire. You get more points for both pigs doing th same trick. However, if ever the two pigs land on their sides with both the same side showing (both spot or both ...  Read the complete review

Who would have thought that two little plastic pigs would create so much fun! Pass the Pigs is a fabulous little game. On first mention it doesn't sound like much of a fun game, throw two little pigs about and count your score up to 100 but it is really fun, competitive and actually very hilarious. The pigs act as two dice. They are plastic and have a black dot on one side. They are fairly small, probably only 2cm approximately in length and width. Each player takes it in turn to throw the pigs and the scores are recorded. There are obviously different scores for different combinations of how the pigs land. For example, if one of the pigs lands on ...  Read the complete review
