Pig Card Game Rules

A fun game for children and adults to play.

Pig Card Game can be played with 3-13 players
using a standard deck of cards

The Deck
The number of cards in the deck varies: 4 cards correspond to any rank for every person playing. Therefore, 4 people would use 16 cards consisting of 4 aces, 4 kings, 4 queens, and 4 jacks. 5 people would use a 20 cards, with tens added. 6 people would use 24 cards, with 9’s added, and so forth.

The Deal
Anyone can shuffle the deck and deal 4 cards, individually, to each person.

The Object
To be first to make a set of 4 of a kind in their hand, or to not be the final person to spot when somebody else has done so.

Playing
Everyone look at their cards; then everyone hands 1 card to their left and accept the card passed on by the person to their right. This goes on as fast as you can so that everyone has a hard time keeping up. Once someone collects 4 cards of one value, such as 4 queens, they stop passing and picking up cards and they touch their nose. The other people must instantly stop passing, and they must also touch their nose. The last player to do this is called the Pig!
