About the Game

This is a children's race game in which you, the farmer Pat, are driving your pigs to market. Each player receives four pieces (pigs), and a spinner is used to move them individually along the main (broad) path. Landing on a blue space requires you to turn a pig off on to the relevant dotted (narrow) path; conversely, landing on a red dot on a dotted path forces the pig to move on to a second dotted path. Therefore it is quite easy to get your pigs in disarray!

No captures are utilized in the game, and one strategy is to try and group several of your pigs on one space and move them as a unit. The first farmer to drive all their pigs to market first wins.
