Each turn involves one player throwing two model pigs, each of which has a dot on one side. The player gains or loses points, or is eliminated from the game based on the way the pigs land. Each turn lasts until the player throwing either rolls the pigs in a way that wipes out their current turn score, wipes out their total game score, or decides to stop their turn, add their turn score to their total score and pass the pigs to the next player. The winner is the first player to reach a predetermined total score, usually 100 points. Both Pass the Pigs and Pass the Pigs: Big Pigs make it easy to know how the pigs score points by providing a visual reference to the possible results. The dot on the right side of each pig also make it easy to spot positions.
