About the game
Hey board game fans! We've got a little something to add a gust of excitement to your game nights: the "Tales & Games: The Three Little Pigs – Bonus Card"! This little gem was initially included as a bonus in other games from the "Tales & Games" series, like "The Hare & the Tortoise" and "The Pied Piper," but it truly shines when you bring it to the base game of "The Three Little Pigs™."

Forget simply removing blown-away tiles; with this card, you'll be collecting the tiles that your mighty puffs sent flying. Think of it as a mini-game within the main game: each time you "blow" on an opponent's house, the tiles that get blown away go into a separate stack. At the end of the game, the player who has accumulated the most "bluster" points – meaning, who has caused the most pigs to lose their houses – gets this bonus card! It's a twist that adds an extra layer of strategy and fun, especially if you enjoy the "Veteran Pigs" variant.

This card is perfect for those who already enjoy "The Three Little Pigs" and want to spice up their gameplay. It doesn't drastically alter the core rules but introduces a parallel competition focused on who is the master of the "blow." If you like games with a touch of luck (it involves dice, after all!) and a dash of push-your-luck mechanics, this bonus will leave you wanting more. Get ready to blow with all your might and see who claims the prize!
