Build a fence! Pen that pig! Catch them all! Then OINK real big!

Simple strategy game aimed at children from 4 years and up.

Spin the spinner and place your fences. Be careful not to give away a pen. Close a pen when you can to trap one of your pigs. Trap them all to win the game.

Player Setup

At the start of the game you can enter the names for up to 4 players.

The game will remember the player names each time.

When you enter a player name the game assumes that player will be playing and puts a tick next to their name.

The player can be "unticked" at any time meaning they will not be playing in this game but still allowing their name to be saved so they can play another time.

Any player that is "unticked" will not show up in play.

If only 1 player is ticked then you play against the computer. Watch it out, it's very good!

Rules

Each Player picks a colour of Piggy and is given

* 6 piggies for a 2 player game

* 5 piggies for a 3 player game

* 4 piggies for a 4 player game

Play starts with the Pink pig and moves clockwise

Each player takes a turn going to the barn to get a fence piece. Spin the spinner to find out what you get from the barn.

* 1 Fence piece - Take a fence piece and place it on the board at the edge of a square

* 2 Fence pieces - Take 2 fence pieces and place them on the board at the edges of squares

* Bad Piggy - The bad piggy runs away - miss this turn

Closing a pen - If you can place a fence piece to finish a square then you win that square - 1 of your piggies will jump in that square and OINK with satisfaction!

The winner is the first player to pen all of their piggies.

Strategy

It's a good idea not to give pens away. Try to place your fences so that the next player can't steal a pen from you.

It's a good lesson for young children to learn

I started making this video game because I wanted to learn Unity.

I don't really own the concept of the game and I'm not trying to make any money from it which is why the game is free on all platforms.

As I'm trying to learn I have also made the source code to the game available online at github.

See the maple.scot website for how to make your own Pig Pens physical board game to play at home.
