I wanted to print the classic game Pass the Pigs, but could not find any project files for it on MakerWorld, so thought I'd remix my version of it.
Wiki about the original game: Pass the Pigs - Wikipedia
Remix info:
- Removed the need for pen and paper by utilizing the click counter (0-99) made by BaGoon. Added player numbers (P1-P4) to them.
- Added the point system on the back of the inner case.
- Added the pig dice created by tmone, and colored it a bit.
- Remixed the case made by stemwise, so it could hold the 4 counters instead of pen and paper.
- Split the inner case in two (assemples using Bambu Studio's connectors) to avoid support material on the inside that could not be removed.
Assemply Guide:
Casing
- Clean the model of support material.
- Assemble the inner parts using the plugs. Glue is not required, but if you like a tighter fit, a small amount of glue can be applied.
Counters
- Attach the wheels to 'P1-P4 case' and check rotation. Sand or grease if stiff.
- Place the spring on ‘P1-P4 case’.
- Snap on the opposite case side.

HOW TO PLAY:
"Pass the Pigs" is a classic dice game with a unique twist where pigs replace dice, and their positions determine the score. Here's how to play:
Setup
Each player starts with zero points. The game typically ends at 100 points, but players can agree on a different target score.
Rolling the Pigs
On their turn, a player rolls two pig-shaped markers. The pigs can land in various positions, each with its own point value. Common positions include:
- Sider: Both pigs lying on their sides, either the same or different sides.
- Trotter: Standing on all four feet.
- Razorback: Lying on their backs.
- Snouter: Resting on two front feet and the snout.
- Leaning Jowler: Resting on one front foot, ear, and snout. (I added a picture of another variant where they are sitting up which if you like can be given the same score as Leaning Jowler)
Scoring
- The positions of the pigs determine the score for that roll. For example, a "Double Razorback" (both pigs lying on their backs) has a higher score than a "Mixed Combo" (pigs in two different positions).
- "Pig Out" - Pigs lie on opposite sides - Player's score for the turn is wiped out; play passes to next player.
- "Oinker" (both pigs touching) resets the player's total score; play passes to next player.
Continuing Play
- After rolling, the player can decide to either end their turn and bank their points or roll again to accumulate more points.
- If they roll a combination that ends their turn without banking, they lose the points accumulated in that turn.
Winning the Game
- The first player to reach or exceed the agreed-upon score wins the game.
The game is simple, strategic, and funny, making it a hit with players of all ages. Deciding whether to keep rolling or bank your points adds excitement, and the pigs' humorous positions keep everyone entertained.
