Piggy Forest is a board game released in 2020 for 1–4 players, 15–25 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Manu Sánchez Montero and Mari Carmen Lara Aguilar and its main mechanics are Memory, Cooperative Game, and Team-Based Game.
Once upon a time there was a Wolf trying to catch three little pigs without any luck. That's a well known story from the past, and now the wolves and the pigs compete every year in an annual houses build & demolition festival in the wood of Piggy Forest! Piggy Forest is a collaborative card game where the players must build houses of different materials (straw, wood and stone) inside of which they must later place the pigs (not three like the original story but nine). Three different wolves will appear destroying the houses, so the players must play together by exchanging building materials and characters from their hands. Other special characters called "protectors" also appear (they will help to win the game). This is a card game for family, kids and friends, with solo play system and 9 extra ways to play! Will you miss this exciting battle? The Piggy Forest Team vs The Wolf Gang!
Piggy Forest supports 1–4 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 Piggy Forest is 15–25 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 Piggy Forest for ages 6 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.
Piggy Forest has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
