The Pig Game (also known as Pig Dice) has its roots in a simple dice game that evolved over time into various forms. One of its most popular versions, known as Pass the Pigs, was created in 1977 by David Moffat. The game involved rolling small plastic pigs to determine the outcome based on how they landed. The game, initially called Pig Mania, was later rebranded and released by Milton Bradley as Pass the Pigs.
The game combines luck and strategy, as players need to decide whether to take another roll and risk losing their points or hold onto their accumulated score. It's a fun game suitable for all ages, improving both basic math skills and decision-making.
