Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: How's your tolerance for puns? You'll need some for Pass the Pigs, a simple game of chance built around a pig theme. Instead of dice, you roll two cute pink piglets, and you gain or lose points depending on how the critters land. For example, if both land on all fours, called a "double trotter," you get 20 points; if they land lying opposite each other, called a "Pig Out," you gain no points and cede your turn. There are a number of other rules as well as a variation called "Hog Call." This would be a good travel game (the pigs, instructions, and scoring pad fit in a small, tidy box) or a fine present for someone who's, well, into pigs! --Elisa Murray

Customer Reviews
Too much fun!
Fun game for the whole family. Nice, compact case to carry with us on trips and to visit friends. Children practice their math and probability skills while having a great time.

A fun and unusual game
The game was fun and the case makes it easy to carry around. I'm not sure how original you can say the game is since it's like dice but I think it's a great spin on a classic

Keeping Child Occupied
I recently took a trip with my 7 year old nephew and while waiting for a delayed flight this game was handy. Small enough to fit in a mom's purse to take to long doctor visits, etc.

GO WEST! HAVE FUN!
This game is a change from the usual board games, Monopoly, Sorry, etc. It is both fun and educational. You join Lewis & Clark in exploring the unknown. The goals: map the rivers, make friends with natives, open the West to trade, and look for a Northwest Passage (an easy water route from coast to coast). I purchased this as a gift the receipent loves it and plays with it often.

Great Game, Perhaps Slightly Overrated
I bought this based on the dozens of glowing reviews here on Amazon, the wide age range (easy enough for my 7 year old), and the low purchase price (less than $10).
The pigs are adorable and the self containing hard plastic packaging is much more durable than the cardboard boxes most games come with. I am sure this will accompany us on trips to the beach.
That said, the game gets very repetitive fast. And by fast, I mean in the first 30 minutes of total game play. There are a limited number of rolls and they take place again and again until someone reaches 100. And since you can roll as many times as you want (unless you roll a pig out), it is possible for only one player to play for a whole game with nobody else having a turn. Yay. We will have to look for some alternative rules to spice things up.
