Object
Make your pigs fly and try to land inside the Mud Puddle in the center of the Pig Pen!
Set Up
Assemble the Pig Pen:
- Snap together the two halves of the Pig Pen base.
- Snap the fence posts onto the Pig Pen base.
- Slide the circular Pig Pen graphic onto the fence posts on top of the base.
- Insert the Mud Pit into the center of the Pig Pen and place the Mud Pies inside.
- Set a trampoline in front of each player and give each player an equal number of pigs (2 each for 3-player games, and 3 each for 2-player games).
Now you're ready to make 'em fly!
WARNING: To prevent injury, do not aim at eyes or face.
Game Play
On the count of 3, everyone can begin bouncing their pigs off of the trampolines to try to land in the Mud Puddle. Don't worry about keeping track of who started with which pig (grab whichever one ends up nearest to you and keep on bouncing) — once the game begins it's a free-for-all trying to land on the platform!
If a player makes it into the Mud Puddle with one of their pigs, gameplay pauses so they can retrieve their pig and grab a Mud Pie piece. Make sure each player is back to having an equal number of pigs at the ready. With another count of 3, the game begins again, with players once more trying to land their pigs in the Mud Puddle to earn a Mud Pie.
Once all the Mud Pies are gone from the Mud Puddle, the game ends. Tally up your Mud Pies — the muddiest piggy is the winner! Reset the game by replacing all the Mud Pies back into the Mud Puddle and play again!
Winning
The muddiest pig (player with the most Mud Pies) after all the Mud Pies are gone is the winner!
Game Play Variations
For Younger Players: Getting a pig into the Mud Puddle takes practice, so it might be fun to start by awarding Mud Pies for simply getting a pig onto the platform!
In Games Where Adults and Young Children Are Playing Together: Players can choose to have adults aim for the Mud Puddle and children aim to land anywhere on the platform to even the playing field and give everyone a chance to win!
Tips and Tricks
- For better pig bouncing, bounce the pigs on their tails!
- If you're having difficulty hitting the Pig Pen, make sure your trampoline is aligned facing the Pig Pen correctly.
