Pass the Pigs

(This one is for Mo!) "Pass the Pigs" is a game for 2 players. There are 2 little rubber pigs. Each piggy has a spot on one of it's side. You put them in your fist and roll them (like dice). Depending on how they land, you get points for it.

A pig that leans on it's snout is called a "snouter" and it's worth 10 points.

One pig laying on it's back is 10 points.

One pig standing on all 4 legs is 10 points.

Both pigs laying on their sizes with same sides showing is 1 point.

If pigs are laying on their sides, one with a spot, one with out...then it's "pig out!" You loose all your points and have to start all over again.

Anyway, each position of the pig is worth a certain amount of points.
First one to get to 100 points wins!

This is a easy, quiet, silly and fun little game!!! Actually, when my parents were Missionaries in Mexico they had their house broken into. The only things that were missing was some toothpaste and the PIGS!!! lol
