About the game

What you do in a play session

If you enjoy a good trick-taking game but want an extra dash of tension and interaction, Pig Pick Trick is here to spice up your game night. The premise is straightforward: you need to manage your cards while navigating a drafting mechanic that feels quite reminiscent of the classic 'Old Maid'. The fun part kicks in during the selection phase, where a higher-ranked player offers two face-down cards, and a lower-ranked player must choose one blindly. It’s that 'am I picking a trump card or a dud?' moment that keeps everyone on their toes.

The game has specific rules that you simply can't ignore. If you happen to hold the 'Baba Buta'—the game's Joker—you are forced to include it in the cards you offer. And, of course, absolutely no one wants to end up with the 'Mad Pig' card, as it’s a total trap that deducts 13 points from your final score. It’s the kind of game that forces you to pay close attention not just to the cards being played, but to who is offering what.

Supporting 3 to 5 players, Pig Pick Trick is fast-paced and perfect for a quick session or a warm-up before a heavier title. Because it blends trick-taking strategy with a bit of luck-based drafting, the experience stays dynamic throughout. You’ll laugh when someone gets stuck with the Mad Pig and celebrate when you successfully dodge a bad card or capture a key trick. It’s a lighthearted game, but it doesn't forgive bad judgment. If you enjoy card games that mix table reading with a touch of 'push your luck', this one is definitely going to become a staple in your collection. Get ready to bluff, root for your friends, and, above all, try not to end the game with the pig in your hand!
