How to Play Piggy Piggy

---

Objective

The objective of the game is to collect matching sets of four cards (of the same rank) and be the first player to collect one complete set. The game is simple, fun, and suitable for players of all ages.

Setup

1. Players: 3-6 players.
2. Deck: Use a standard deck of 52 cards. Remove the jokers.
3. Deal: Each player is dealt 4 cards. The remaining deck is placed in the center as a draw pile.

Gameplay

1. On your turn, play all cards of the same food type from your hand in a face-up stack.
2. If your stack of a specific food type is larger than any other player’s, claim the corresponding pig figure.
3. Alternatively, play a goat card to discard a food card from an opponent’s stack, potentially disrupting their pig claim.
4. Draw three new cards to replenish your hand.

Scoring

• At the end of your turn, score one point for each card in your hand that matches the color of a pig you own.
• The first player to reach 8 points wins the game.

Notes/Variations

• Multiple players can have the same number of food cards. In this case, no pig is claimed.
• The goat card can be played multiple times on the same turn.

Enjoy this fast-paced and fun card game!
