Online Pop the Pig Rules, Tutorial | The Detailed Review
Here is a detailed tutorial of how this fun game works online.
Step 1: Start, Shuffle and Roll
It’s best to sit in a circle around the device you choose to play with as the turn moves clockwise or anti-clockwise as you desire. The game begins with everything on the screen, your pig, the dice, and the 16 burgers of different colors in the set of fours. These burgers will be aligned as one color in one row, so it’s best to begin with shuffling.
The first step is to shuffle the burgers so that the children can match the colors. The next step is to click the big dice in the middle of the screen with a big burger on it. This dice indicates which color you can select from the set on your left. Upon clicking the dice, it will shuffle and you will get a colored burger. For instance you get red, you can now select any red color from the set of four reds you want.
However, you might get a burger with multi-colors or a burger with a cross. If you get the burger with the multi-colors, well you are in luck! Because you can select any color from the set you want. However, if you get the burger with the cross then you have to skip your turn.
Step 2: Select the color and feed
After getting your color from the dice, you can now feed the pig. Just click the colored burger from the set and you will get a number. A higher number here indicates more chances to win so good luck. After getting a number from the burger, you will not be able to use that burger anymore.
Anyhow, the number you get tells you the number of times you will click the pig. For instance, you selected the red burger and got ‘four’. Now you click the pig four times. If it doesn’t pop, pass the turn to the next person and he or she repeats the same steps.
Step 3: Wait for the Pop and Play Again
The players take turns one by one till the pig gets full and pops. The one who pops the pig eventually wins! After the pig pops, you will get a pop on the screen and a button to play over. Click on the button to feed the pig again until it bursts.
