Object

Feed the pig hamburgers until his belly pops!

Setup

Open the door on the back of the pig and take out all of the hamburgers. Place all of the hamburgers, with the numbers face down, on the table.

Close the vest and belt and push his arms down until they click. This is how to reset the game for a new round.

Play

The youngest player begins by rolling the die. If the die shows a color, the player picks a hamburger of this color. If the die shows all four colors, the player picks any color hamburger.

On the bottom of each hamburger you will find a number from 1 to 4. Insert the hamburger all the way into the pig's mouth. Using two hands, one on top of the other, push down on his head the number of times indicated on the hamburger until you hear a click. Each time you push down on his head his belly grows! Play continues with the player to the right.

Note: The pig's belly will not grow if his head is not pushed down far enough to hear the click.

If the die shows an "X" then the player skips their turn.

Example: The die shows red so you pick a red hamburger. The number 3 is on the bottom of your hamburger. You feed the hamburger to the pig and push down on his head 3 times making his belly grow with each push!

The Winner

The game ends when the pig has eaten too much so his belt bursts open and his arms fly up. The player who caused the pig to "pop" is the winner!

After the pig pops, push down on his head one more time to deflate his belly. Simply remove the hamburgers, close his belt, and push his arms down to start a new round.
