How to Play

The objective of Pop The Pig is to feed the pig burgers until his belly pops! The game is suitable for 2 to 6 players.

Game Rules:

  1. The youngest player starts the game. Play proceeds clockwise.
  2. On your turn, roll the die. The die will show a color and a number (1-4).
  3. Take a burger of the color indicated on the die. If there are no burgers of that color left, you must choose a burger of any available color.
  4. Look at the number on the bottom of the burger you selected. This number indicates how many times you need to push down on the pig's head.
  5. Insert the burger into the pig's mouth.
  6. Push down on the pig's head the number of times indicated on the burger. Each push will make the pig's belly grow larger.
  7. Pass the die to the next player.
  8. Continue playing until the pig's belly pops! The player who makes the pig's belly pop is the winner.

Resetting the Game:

After the pig's belly pops, push down on its head until it clicks back into the starting position to reset the game for another round.
