WHAT YOU WILL NEED

5 Piggy dice

A pen and a piece of paper

Luck

 

TO START

Each player rolls one dice.

The player with the highest valued dice goes first.

The value of the dice from lowest to highest are:

 

TO PLAY

Each player begins their turn by rolling all five dice. 

A pig, star or three of a kind (called counters) must be rolled in order to continue their turn.  

A player will need to set aside at least one counter each roll to continue their turn. 

If a player successfully rolls all five dice as counters, they must pick up the dice and continue rolling. 

A player’s earned points continue to accumulate until they choose to end their turn. 
 

Don’t push your luck too far.  If a player only rolls no counters, their turn is over immediately and all points for the round are lost.
 

A player must earn 500 points in order to begin keeping score. 

Once that threshold has been passed, a player can end their turns at any time and collect the points they have earned.

​

NOTE: A player may not end their turn and take points if the dice do not equal a multiple of 100, for example the dice equal 50, 150, 250 etc.

Once a player completes their roll, the dice are passed to the player to the right and the game continues.

 

TO WIN

The first player to 5000 points or over wins.

 

SCORING

At the completion of a player’s turn, points are awarded for scoring dice and combinations all the points they accrue each round are added to their game total. 

A player cannot start accumulating points until they have scored at least 500 points in one round. 

Scoring is as follows:

Pigs = 100 points each

Stars = 50 points each

 

Three of a kinds are worth points as well. Three of a kind must be rolled in one throw.

Three 2’s = 200 points

… 3’s = 300 points

… 4’s = 400 points

… stars = 500 points

… pigs = 1000 points

… wolves = -1000 points
