Family Pig Dice Game, 7+ Years

The Pass The Pigs classic party game has entertained people for over 25 years and has been completely redesigned with a cool new carrying case. The game consists of two pigs, which you use as dice, along with a pad, two pencils, and a carrying case. The objective is to roll the pigs and earn points based on their position, with the first player to reach 100 points winning the game.

This pig-tastic game was originally known as Pigmania when it was first designed in the 1970s, before being officially renamed to Pass The Pigs in the 1980s. The gameplay, however, has remained delightfully irreverent throughout the years.

If you enjoy rolling dice, you'll love picking up these fabulous little swines and giving them a throw. The scoring system is based on how the pigs land - Siders, Trotters, Razorbacks, Snouters, or even the elusive Leaning Jowler. For example, if both pigs land on all fours, it's called a "Double Trotter" and you'll earn 20 points. Other classic scoring rolls include standard (single) Trotters, Razorbacks (standard and double), and the famous Leaning Jowler.

The key to winning is to keep pressing your luck, but you need to know when to stop and "Pass The Pigs" before you "Pig out." It's a game of chance that requires a good sense of puns, as you'll need to navigate terms like "Oinkers" and "Pig Outs" throughout the gameplay.

Interestingly, Pass The Pigs is not just a fun party game – it's also used as a learning tool for probability and statistics in many math classrooms across the United States. The simple mechanics and engaging theme make it an excellent resource for teaching these important concepts.

If you're already a fan of Pass The Pigs, you might also want to check out the game's spin-offs, such as Pass The Pigs: Pig Party and Pass The Pigs: Big Pigs. These variations offer new challenges and opportunities to delve deeper into the porcine-themed world of gaming.

In summary, Pass The Pigs is a classic party game that has been entertaining people for over 25 years. With its small, portable design, it makes an ideal travel game, and it can also serve as an engaging educational tool for math classrooms. Whether you're looking for a fun social gathering or a unique way to explore probability and statistics, Pass The Pigs is sure to keep you and your friends or students entertained all day long.
