Schweine Schwarte

Das Rennen

Schweine Schwarte lies absolutely immobile and completely stuffed on his back which is no wonder, the greedy piglet has even swallowed the die this time. The little piglet figurines of the players race as fast as they can to their personal finish to stuff themselves there. But even in a race with Schweine Schwarte there are rules and the little piglets cannot race along totally at their own will. Three piglets for each players start the race for the hamburgers!

And as the piglets prefer to gobble hamburgers instead of thinking they follow well-known standard rules: In your turn you must first press the belly of Schweine Schwarte to roll the die and learn how far you can move one of your piglets. If you get a six you start a piglet on its race and may press Schweine Schwartes belly again for another turn. When at the end of a move a piglet lands on a space which is already occupied by another piglet this piglet is sent back and must the race again. Of course you hope that this will not happen to you. A piglet can move into the finish area when it rolls the necessary number or a higher one. If you manage to get three piglets into your personal finish area first you win the game.

As I have already mentioned, the rules of this race are known; that might be the reason why this game is so much fun for children – you can concentrate on the funny details. Schweine Scharte standing in for a die is a standard mechanism, too, but nicely implemented, the hamburger race track fits the topic and the mini piglets as playing pieces are nice, too. So we can enjoy a new game that we all know perfectly well already!
