If one, and only one, of the pigs is lying on its side, that pig scores nothing, and the other pig scores as follows: Winning Moves kindly sent me a game to review. And I promised to play it with my little girl as soon as it arrived. But then, in its inimitable fashion, the wonderful sunny days that we had been having turned to rain. And it has only been in the last couple of days that I have been able to get outdoors. A lot of games are a little too old for my 4 year old. But when I found out that there was a new variation of one of the favourite games from my youth I was so excited to be able to share it with you.

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? Due to its small size and portability, it made the perfect travel game. (And thus it was played lots on school trips as I was growing up.) I have very fond memories of playing very competitive games in the common rooms of my school. So bring home that bacon, and get ready as we dive into the world of oversized fun with this game, and discover why you should add it to your must-have game collection. What Is Pass The Pigs: Big Pigs? This section is going to be very short because playing Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs doesn’t require much explanation. Until we found it a lot more fun throwing them all around the house! Play Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs anywhere!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! Each turn involves one player throwing two model pigs, each of which has a dot on one side. The player gains or loses points, or is eliminated from the game based on the way the pigs land. Each turn lasts until the player throwing either rolls the pigs in a way that wipes out their current turn score, wipes out their total game score, or decides to stop their turn, add their turn score to their total score and pass the pigs to the next player. The winner is the first player to reach a predetermined total score, usually 100 points. But beware, if the pigs land touching each other, it is a serious penalty – the oinker. You lose all your points collected throughout the game. So, be sure to throw the dice with careful strategy! Scoring Points The goal in Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs is the same as in the original game of Pass the Pigs – be the first player to score 100 points.
