Based on the popular and quirky dice game, Pass the Pigs lets DS gamers use the stylus to "roll" pigs in an attempt to score points. Players compete to earn 100 points, with more points awarded for less probable landings such as "Razorbacks" (pigs landing on their back), "Snouters" (landing on their nose), and "Leaning Jowlers" (landing on nose and ear). Players can continue rolling as long as they like, but certain rolls will strip them of their points, so gamers are encouraged to Pass the Pigs before they "Pig Out." Gamers can stack the odds in their favor though, by purchasing upgrades such as Iron Snout and Pig in Boots, or by bumping the table to change the outcome of a roll. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
