About this board game
Pig 10 is a card game for 2–8 players that takes about 20 minutes to play, with every turn revolving around the number 10.
Players play their piglet cards into the middle of the table, where the result changes with each card. Nine is nothing special, but reaching exactly ten is the key moment: the player who makes the result ten takes all the laid-out cards.
The challenge is knowing when the total is safe. If a card pushes the result even slightly above ten, the player who took the turn immediately before gets the pleasure of the cards instead. That makes every play a tense balance between aiming for a valuable ten and avoiding an unfortunate overshoot.
- Players: 2–8
- Playing time: about 20 minutes
- Core goal: hit ten with your piglet cards as often as possible
- Main risk: going above ten gives the previous player the cards
The player who hits ten with their piglet cards fabulously often wins. Simple arithmetic creates the central suspense, while the possibility of handing the cards to the previous player keeps each decision lively.
Released in 2010, Pig 10 offers a compact contest built around counting, timing, and luck. Shout it out, count it out, and try to be as lucky as a pig in clover.
