About the game
The Piggy Piggy game is a fast-paced family card game. Players take turns playing food cards from their hand to try to steal pigs and score the most points. Each player starts with 5 cards, which can consist of food cards of five different colours (pink, yellow, blue, red or black) and goat cards. On their turn, a player plays all the cards they have from one type of food by placing it in a stack. If their stack has the most food, then they earn the same-colored pig figure — or can steal it from another player! Players can also play goat cards to discard a food card from an opponent's stack, possibly forcing them to give up their pig! When a player redraws cards at the end of their turn, if they have any pigs, they’ll score a point for each drawn card that matches their pig’s color. The player who scores 8 points first wins!

Piggy Piggy supports 2–6 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 Piggy is 15–20 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 Piggy Piggy 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.
Piggy Piggy has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
