Pass the Pigs
Looking for a really great family game? Check out
Pass the Pigs, a simple game of chance
built on 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 lose your turn.
This game is consistently one of the top-selling games at Amazon.com. I've given several sets of as gifts to friends
and family. It makes a good travel game -- the pigs, instructions, and scoring pad fit in a small, tidy box. It is also a great
gift idea for someone who's "into pigs!"
