Giant Pass the Pigs

The same game, except the pigs are now inflatable and roughly the size of a small dog.

Pass the Pigs is dice with the numbers taken off. You throw two rubber pigs and score according to how they land: Trotter, Razorback, Snouter, Leaning Jowler. Push your luck and keep throwing, or bank what you have before the pigs land in the one combination that wipes your score. It has been quietly one of the best-selling travel games in the world since 1977.

This is the giant edition, which replaces the pocket-sized pigs with inflatables and moves the whole thing outdoors. The scoring is identical; the throw is not. It works on a lawn, at a party, or anywhere a normal dice game would be lost in the grass within minutes.

Perfect for: A backyard gathering where the alternative was going to be a speech.
