Pass the Pigs
4,000+ bought last month
OVERPRICED.
Pass the Pigs is a dice game where you roll two small pig figurines instead of traditional dice to score points based on how they land. You're trying to reach 100 points first while managing the risk of rolling bad combinations that end your turn, making it a simple luck-and-strategy game that works well as a travel game or party option.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The game has been around since the 1970s and comes in a compact plastic carrying case with everything you need, so it's genuinely portable.
- Scoring depends on specific pig landing positions like Snouter (10 points) or Leaning Jowler (15 points), so there's a learning curve to remember all the positions at first.
- It's used in some math classrooms to teach probability, which means it actually has some educational value beyond just being a novelty game.
As of Aug 30, the Pass the Pigs is overpriced at $16.99 — versus a $16.07 typical price and a $5.39 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
