Pass the Pigs (1977)
(1977)Winning Moves Games, Milton Bradley, David Moffat Enterprises
Pass the Pigs is a classic press-your-luck party game where players take turns rolling two pig-shaped dice to score points based on the positions the pigs land in. Players must decide whether to bank their points and pass the pigs or risk rolling again for a higher score, running the risk of 'pigging out' and losing their accumulated points for the turn.

The Verdict
based on 8 reviews
“This is a fun game and it's a great fill, it's a great example of a filler game too, because even if you are just sitting there playing it for 15 minutes and nobody's gotten a 300 points, you can always just stop.”
Pass the Pigs is an entertaining, easy-to-learn game that is perfect for casual play sessions, parties, and travel. Its unique use of pig miniatures as dice adds a quirky charm, and the blend of chance with strategic risk-taking decisions keeps the game engaging and lighthearted.
“Pass the Pigs is a neat little game, easily portable so great for travelling and boasts quick, upbeat game sessions.”
“When it’s out, Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs scores high on our “let’s play again” game meter for the simple reason that we love chucking these big pigs all over the house.”
“If you have a gaming session or event coming up with younger kids and/or their grandparents, there are not many games I would recommend more than Pass the Pigs.”
“It's silly it's fun this is has that big grandiose feeling you can play this outside you can play it you know we we throw ours on the floor and see where they land and it's fun”(5:29)
“If you have the right group and you're ready to have fun and you want to get into it and laugh and giggle and laugh you'll have fun with this game other otherwise it's not a great game but for some reason I still still even now are having fun with it”(5:54)
“Overall I did not enjoy Pig Mania. I thought the game was boring, had essentially no skill involved, and was entirely based on luck.”
