Pig 10

10 reached, cards won!

Pig 10 is a card game on numbers, but not about placing numbers or discarding numbers, you want to collect as many cards as you can manage.

All cards are shuffled wll and each player receives 3 cards, the rest is stacked as a draw pile. The first player puts a card in the middle of the table and names the value of the card. The next player places another card on this card and names the new value of the stack, by adding the old value to the value of the new card. Then you draw a card. If you manage to place a card that results in a stack value of exactly 10, you call out “Pig 10” and receive the stack which you put on the table. But if you overshoot and the value is higher than 10, your right-hand neighbor receives the stack. All cards you win are stacked in front of you. If you play the mermaid card of value 5 you can decide whether to deduct 5 from the stack value or add 5 to it. If you can or must play the same card that is on top of the stack you can add the value of the card or change the stack value to the value of this card. If you play a frog card to the stack you reduce the value of the stack to zero. When the draw pile has been used up play goes on until all players have run out of cards. Now you win the game if you did win most cards.

A well-known mechanism – place cards, reach a limit value, something happens – has here been realized with nice details and very cute illustrations to yield a fast little game, very convenient for a filler, good for families with children who can count up to 10 and even for use in school as you can play very nicely n larger groups.
