It's great because it teachers here number order, addition, and subtraction. This is an excellent game. But we have a great time. The only thing I would change is they need more pigs because the game goes really quick. We play this with my 4 1/2 year old and she absolutely loves it. After the second round she kicked our butts every time.
It's no fun.break out the old maid. Bring in the NASA folks to understand these directions.you got to lay 3 cards here and 4 cards there and hold 6 cards and remember this litany of 'hog washes' and 'ewe turns' and so forth.just no fun--I've read the instructions 10 times--still not getting it.here's a typlical excerpt: '.draw 1 card (unless you do a ewe turn and then you switch hands and turn backward) then proceed counter clockwise starting from youngest to oldest.here is the pile you are trying to get rid of.after everyone has used up all of their cards, the person with no cards left (one having gone out first) can draw 3 pigs, the person going out next (not the winner, the one who went out after the first place person) can draw 2 pigs.'. Anyway--not kidding, there are 200 sets of '( )' in these directions.
Our neices love this game and find other creative ways to used the little pigs.
We love it and we bring it with to all of our game nights. (with 4 or 5 players it takes about 4 to 5 hands)What is great is even if you aren't winning, you can still screw over your neighbor because 3 of their cards will be showing. This is a really fun game & is easy to learn. The goal is to have the most pigs by the end, and to do so you need to win enough hands.
Our family and friends do enjoy card games, so that made it easier. We actually have gotten this game as a present for 3 different people. I got this game for my Dad after playing it at work during lunch. We have ages 19-83 and all enjoy it and have fun. Great game if you enjoy group board/card games. My family has been addicted since. Everyone we have had play it really enjoys it.
