Pass the Pigs: Pig Party Edition is a board game released in 2011 for 2–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling.
Pass the Pigs, in which players roll pig-shaped dice to score points, included one pair of pig dice. Deluxe Pass the Pigs doubled the swine count, with two pairs of pigs for head-to-head competition. Now Pass the Pigs: Pig Party Edition has brought home the bacon, doubling the pig count yet again with four pairs of pigs (pink, black, brown, tan) included in the box. Game play is reminiscent of Pass The Pigs, but with more pigs and more scoring opportunities. Players try to win cards that display a specific goal (pigs in a particular orientation) and a point value. The game includes bonus cards, including a chance to roll all eight pigs at once. Sooooooo-eeeee! Pass the Pigs: Pig Party Edition comes with a black, zip-up case to hold the game components.
Pass the Pigs: Pig Party Edition supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Pass the Pigs: Pig Party Edition is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Pass the Pigs: Pig Party Edition for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
