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

Product Information

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 ] This section is going to be very short because playing Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs doesn’t require much explanation. The giant pig miniatures, crafted from foam, ensure durability and safety, even if they are handled roughly. This was an intelligent decision by the manufacturers, considering the younger players launching these pigs as if they were throwing stones in a pond: with full force and power! We’ve been impressed that the weighting of the foam pigs is balanced like the original in how the pigs can end up in their various positions.

But with this newer version, possibilities are endless! Take it to your pool party and play it outside. Or maybe in a mud room or just on the kitchen floor! It is a totally new experience and pure fun! What Age Is The Game Suited For?

Whilst you can play this game inside, it really needs some room! So we went out to play. And had such a lot of fun playing with the supersize pigs. 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 In 1977, a game came out called Pass the Pigs where players would roll plastic pigs for points. Well, this latest iteration of the game by Winning Moves Games bumps the game up a level. Or maybe we should say 100 levels. Because these pigs look 100 times larger than the original. The game comes with two flat pig inflatables. And as soon as I inflated these, my little girl was so excited to play. The inflated porkers are as big as my 3 seater sofa! Inflate your pair of porkers, throw them and see how they land. Will you get a Leaning Jowler, a Mixed Combo or will you Pig Out?

Regardless of whether you’ve felt that urge or not, you and your family can enjoy throwing foam pigs around in Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs! Fantastic fun for the whole family, Pass the Pigs is so easy to play. Simply throw the 2 piggies up in the air and see how they land. Compare the pigs landing positions with your scorecard and earn points, the first to 100 wins. If their result is an “Oinker” (pigs are touching), the player loses ALL their points in the game so far.

Both Pass the Pigs and Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs make it easy to know how the pigs score points by providing a visual reference to the possible results. The dot on the right side of each pig also make it easy to spot positions. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a simple yet entertaining game. What Does The Game Consist Of? As with the small travel set, I have no hesitation in recommending this game to everyone. I know that this will be a family favourite for years to come, and cannot wait to play it with some of my other friends and family. Why not try it too?
