What is Giant Pass The Pigs
This very portable beer & 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), you're 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 roller's score!
Schweinerei, the German edition, was released by Milton Bradley in 1984; Milton Bradley in 1996; Winning Moves Games (USA) Deutschland in 2001.

What the community says about Giant Pass The Pigs
Tentar a la suerte con tus cerditos. Sencillo hasta la simpleza absoluta, algo estúpido, rápido y un buen juego de viaje. No le pidas más, porque no hallarás nada... Lanzas dos miniaturas de cerditos y en función de la postura en la que caen anotas más o menos puntos. Sigues tirando y sumando hasta que llegas a 100 puntos o los cerditos caen en una de las dos posturas malditas (una te hará perder los puntos acumulados en esa ronda. La otra todos los puntos acumulados en la partida). PROS: Divertido y sencillo. CONS: No hay ninguna decisión que tomar, excepto la de cuando plantarte. Online h
