Get Ready to Play the Dirty Pig Game!
Hey there! So you’re thinking of playing the Dirty Pig Game, huh? That’s awesome! I’m here to help you understand the rules so you can start having a blast!
What You’ll Need
Before we dive into the rules, let’s make sure you have everything you need. To play the Dirty Pig Game, you’ll need a deck of Dirty Pig cards and some friends or family members who are ready to have a good time!
The Goal of the Game
Now, let’s talk about the goal of the game. The main objective is to be the first player to reach 100 points. You earn points by successfully getting rid of your cards. The player with the lowest score when someone reaches 100 points is the winner!
The Dirty Pig Cards
Alright, now let’s get to know the Dirty Pig cards. These cards have numbers on them, ranging from 1 to 20. Each card also has a certain action associated with it. For example, you might have to make animal noises or do silly dance moves! Get ready to unleash your inner piggy!
Playing the Game
Here’s how it all goes down. To start, each player is dealt four Dirty Pig cards. On your turn, you’ll choose one card from your hand and play it. You’ll then follow the action described on the card.
But here’s the catch – you can only play a card if its number matches the previous card played. For example, if the previous card played is a 10, you can only play a card with the number 10. If you can’t play a card, you’ll have to pick up the entire discard pile. Yikes!
The game keeps going in a circle, with each player taking their turn. You’ll keep playing cards and following the actions until someone reaches 100 points. That’s when the game ends, and the player with the lowest score is crowned the winner!
Some Tips and Tricks
Now that you know the basics, here are a few tips to help you out:
- Pay attention to the cards: Keep an eye on the numbers and actions of the cards played. This will help you plan your next move and stay ahead of the game.
- Be strategic with your actions: Some actions can be used strategically to make the game more challenging for your opponents. Use them wisely!
- Don’t be afraid to take risks: Sometimes, it’s worth taking a risk and playing a high-numbered card to get rid of it. Just be prepared for the consequences!
Ready to Get Dirty?
Now that you have a good understanding of the Dirty Pig Game rules, it’s time to gather your friends or family, grab a deck of Dirty Pig cards, and get ready for some pig-tastic fun! Remember, the key is to have a great time and let your inner piggy shine!
I’m telling you, it makes me sad to see pigs so clean all the time. Pigs don’t like being clean, they want to get dirty and have some fun. Because, as they say, a dirty pig is a happy pig!
What makes pigs happy?

- There are 8 Clean That Pig cards.
- Also, 21 Dirty Your Pig cards.
- Plus, 4 Barn Door cards.
- And 4 Rain cards.
- Furthermore, 4 Lightning cards.
- Not to mention, 12 Barn cards.
- Lastly, 4 Lightning Rod cards.
- Instructions are included, too.
Let’s Get Dirty!
Hey, it’s me! And I’ve got a game to tell you about. It’s called ‘Dirty Pigs’ and it’s so much fun! The goal is to be the first player to get all your pigs dirty. How cool is that? Now, let me break it down for you.
Getting Started
Alright, let’s get this game going! First, everyone needs to collect the right number of Pig cards. Place your Pig cards in front of you with the Clean Pig side facing up. Any extra Pig cards can be set aside for now.
- If there are two players, each player gets 5 Pigs.
- If there are three players, each player gets 4 Pigs.
- And if there are four to six players, each player gets 3 Pigs.
Next, shuffle the deck of cards and deal 3 cards face-down to each player. Take a peek at your cards, but keep them a secret from the other players. The rest of the deck goes in the middle of the table.
Time to Play
Now it’s time to start the fun! The youngest player goes first, and then play moves in a clockwise direction. On your turn, you’ll need to play one of the cards from your hand. After you’ve played your card, draw a new card from the deck. Make sure you always have 3 cards in your hand at the end of your turn.
If you don’t have a card you want to play, no worries! You can choose to exchange your cards instead. I’ll explain how that works in the next section.
If we run out of cards, we can shuffle the discarded ones and start a new deck. It’s important to keep the game going!
Now let’s talk about the cards themselves. Take a look at these two:
Pretty neat, huh? Well, here’s one card called “Dirty your Pig.” It’s all about getting down and dirty! When you play this card, you can choose one of your pigs and make them dirty. Just flip that clean pig over to the dirty pig side. Take a look:
Now, let’s move on to the Rain card. Uh-oh, this one’s not so fun. When you play the Rain card, it ruins everyone’s fun by washing clean all the dirty pigs that are out in the open, including yours. Take a look:
Lastly, let’s talk about the Barn card. Get ready to hunker down, because the Barn card is like a safe shelter for your pigs. When you play this card, your dirty pigs are protected and can’t be washed by the Rain card. Keep them safe and sound!
That’s all you need to know to get started. Enjoy the game!
These pigs are pretty clever. They know how to find shelter when it’s raining. You can protect one of your pigs, whether it’s dirty or clean, from the rain by placing a Barn on it. This will keep the rain from getting to your piggy.
But be careful! Just because your piggy is safe from the rain doesn’t mean it’s safe from the farmer. That sneaky farmer can still get to your pig, even if it’s in a barn. So watch out!
Here’s a cool card you can play called Clean That Pig. With this card, you can clean another player’s pig. Yes, even if their pig is in a barn! You get to choose which player’s pig you want to clean. It’s a fun way to mix things up and keep everyone on their toes.
Don’t forget to take a look at the pictures below. They’ll help you visualize how the game works. So go ahead, have fun, and enjoy playing Dirty Pig!
I have to tell you, these pigs know a thing or two about being sneaky. They’ve got a trick up their sleeves, or should I say hooves? They can actually nail the barn door shut! It’s their secret weapon to keep the farmer out, but here’s the catch – it only works if the pig is dirty.
Let’s Talk About Lightning
Hey there! Did you know that lightning can be a real danger to your barn? It can even expose your precious pig to harm! But don’t worry, because I have a solution for you. Just play the Lightning card and watch another player’s barn (and door) get destroyed. The power is in your hands, as you get to decide which barn gets hit. Once the damage is done, those cards go straight into the discard pile. Easy peasy, right?
Here’s a little extra information for you:
Did You Know?
If your pig happens to be hanging out in a barn with a barn door and a lightning rod, then it’s completely safe! Those dirty pigs won’t be bothered by any lightning strikes. So, no need to worry about your piggy getting zapped. Phew!
Exchanging Your Cards
If you don’t want to use any of your cards (or can’t use them – for example, if you have a Barn Door card but no Barn to place it on), you have the option to discard one, two, or all three of your cards. After discarding, you can then draw up to three new cards. Now it’s your turn to play, and then the game moves on to the next player.
End of the Game
The person who gets all their pigs dirty first is the winner!
Where Do My Played Cards Go?
When you play the Dirty Your Pig, Clean That Pig, Rain, or Lightning cards, you should put them face-up in a separate pile for discarded cards. As for all other cards, they go directly onto your Pigs.
Can a pig in a barn be cleaned or dirtied?
Yes, you can clean or dirty a pig in a barn as long as the barn doesn’t have a Barn Door.
When Can I Use the Barn Door or Lightning Rod Cards?
Hey there! Let me break it down for you. If there’s a barn on a pig, you can go ahead and play the Barn Door and Lightning Rod cards. Pretty cool, right? But hold on, there’s more! You can only play the Barn Door card if there’s a Dirty Pig chilling in the barn. So, keep an eye out for that sneaky piggy.
Now, what happens to the pig when a Lightning card is played?
No need to worry, my friend. Lightning won’t affect our precious pig. Phew!
