The jig’s up. The pig squealed. Over 39 Pink Pigs crammed into a little box. Now it’s up to you to let them out. No mud slinging allowed in this fast-paced family game where players compete to corral the most pigs. Get rid of your cards first and be awarded the prime pile of pigs. Sounds easy, but pigs can be slippery. The more cards you have, the better your chances of calling out HogWash and clearing away the deck. But don’t hog the cards too long or you’ll get stuck. The player with the largest stockpile of swine after the final round wins. Quick thinking and clever card play determine how high you’ll heap your hogs.

Great game for adults and kids. Best suited for children about 8 or 9 and older. Our 7 year old will play but gets distracted after the first round. Our 10 and 14 year old kids love the game! You do have to play a few times before understanding and remembering all the rules, but we love teaching other families to play when they visit. It’s much easier to learn from someone who already knows the rules. Once you’ve picked up the flow of the game, it’s really easy and fun to play. We also like to see who can make the highest stack of pigs. We have carried on a tradition we adopted from someone else of giving one of these games away to families that we play with more than once. Great family game that we highly recommend!

My 14 year old daughter received this for Christmas. We had a great time playing it. My 8 year old asks to play it all of the time.We started playing after reading the quick instructions and realized we needed to read the full instructions (only 2 small pages) to understand all of the cards.We really like the two slop piles at the end of the game – it makes it more challenging / random, allowing people to come from behind to win. Very fun!It is a good for my 8 year old to help her with her counting/math skills – b/c she doesn’t realize it is helping her. We would recommend this to our friends.

The pigs are so cute! The whole time we played we just kept saying, “this one’s a keeper”. It’s similar to Uno in play but, I really just love that whole “Hog Wash” mechanic of wiping the discard pile and having to pick up the whole pile if you can’t play. Super fun stuff!

This is a really fun game & is easy to learn. The goal is to have the most pigs by the end, and to do so you need to win enough hands. (with 4 or 5 players it takes about 4 to 5 hands)What is great is even if you aren’t winning, you can still screw over your neighbor because 3 of their cards will be showing. We love it and we bring it with to all of our game nights!

Bring in the NASA folks to understand these directions…you got to lay 3 cards here and 4 cards there and hold 6 cards and remember this litany of ‘hog washes’ and ‘ewe turns’ and so forth…just no fun–I’ve read the instructions 10 times–still not getting it…here’s a typlical excerpt: ‘…draw 1 card (unless you do a ewe turn and then you switch hands and turn backward) then proceed counter clockwise starting from youngest to oldest…here is the pile you are trying to get rid of…after everyone has used up all of their cards, the person with no cards left (one having gone out first) can draw 3 pigs, the person going out next (not the winner, the one who went out after the first place person) can draw 2 pigs…’. Anyway–not kidding, there are 200 sets of ‘( )’ in these directions. It’s no fun…break out the old maid.

The instructions are complicated and I had to read them a few times to get all of the rules. I could maybe see playing this game with a group of adults, but not with children. The ages recommended state 7 and up in one place and in another 12 and up. I disagree, I think most children will lose interest with the cumbersome rules if they even understand them. My suggestion is to do an internet search for the rules before purchasing, read them and if you think it is fun then enjoy! Otherwise another game may be better for you (it certainly isn’t good for me).

This is our second Pig Pile game. Our other one is 20 years old and the cards are beat up. I was happy to see even though the box graphics are changed the cards and pigs are the same. We always have the best time playing this game!! You will have fun playing it with the whole family. Even when our niece was too young to play we let her be the “pig wrangler”. Now she wins the game more often than not. 🐷🐷🐷

It’s hard to find games that 16 to 18 year olds will play. Pig Pile has become a household favorite. One of my daughter’s boyfriends won’t play any other games with us unless we start with his favorite, Pig Pile. I plan on buying one for him to take when he goes to college in the fall. Though the pigs are only used for scoring, they provide entertainment by playing with poses while waiting your turn. The description of play has already been explained by others so I won’t go into detail. Suffice it to say, it’s great for all ages.

This game might be fun once you learn the rules, but it wasn’t fun enough for us to get that far. The little pigs are adorable and may be worth the price themselves. I wanted to set this out on the card table as an ice-breaker for an office BBQ, but it’s not a game that new players can easily pick up.
