This very portable beer and pretzels game comes as a pocket travel case containing 2 pig dice - two pencils and a scoring booklet that also includes the scoring table. The pigs are actual pig miniatures - with a dot on their right flanks.
The object is to be the first to score 100 points using pigs as dice. On your turn - you throw the pigs and hope they end up in a scoring position such as a snouter- trotter- or leaning jowler (ranging in value from 1 to 60 points); if they do- you decide whether to cash the points (pass the pigs to the next player) or to roll again. If you roll a non-scorer (pig out - one pig on the right flank- the other on the left flank; a fairly frequent result)- you lose any as-yet-uncashed points. If you throw an oinker (both pigs touching each other)- you lose your entire accumulated score. If you throw a piggyback (one pig on top of the other)- youre altogether eliminated!
The variant Hog Call rules allow the other players to risk predicting the outcome of the throw; if predicted successfully- the hog caller earns twice the value of the position *and* deducts that same amount from the rollers score!
