## Description
3 Tricky Pigs puts you in the shoes of one of the Three Little Pigs, trying to win tricks in a deck full of surprises. Each game lasts between 30 and 60 minutes and brings together three to five players in a bidding and strategy showdown. Before each round, players make a predictive bid, estimating how many tricks they will capture. A correct bid earns points; an incorrect one can be a lesson in humility.

What makes the game special is the wolf mechanic. If no wolf card is played in the trick, the laziest pig – the one who usually doesn’t try to win – takes the round. When a wolf appears, the rule changes: the highest card, regardless of suit, wins. This twist forces players to read their opponents’ intentions, stay calm, and adjust their bids to the cards they’ve seen.

A standard 52‑card deck is sufficient, but players need score markers to track their wins. The game ends after four rounds, and whoever has the most points at the end takes the crown (or the improvised prize). The predictive‑bid mechanic blends with the classic trick‑taking, creating a simple yet demanding experience that requires attention to card flow and the presence of the wolf.

3 Tricky Pigs is perfect for fans of light card games with a touch of humor and the classic Three Little Pigs theme. The learning curve is low, but competition can heat up when players start predicting each other’s moves more accurately. Ideal for families, friends, and quick fun sessions.
