Pop Belly (1999)

About this game

2-4 players feed the pigs... trying not to cause them to have Fette Bauche (full bellies). Unfortunately, when the pigs are full, they explode. (This is not considered good pig farming technique.) The player who "popped the pig" receives no points, while the other players get points equal to the number of chips they had in the pig. Memory plays a major part in this game, as does wise dispersal of your chips. WHAT THEY'LL LEARN: Counting, Fine Motor Skills, Eye-Hand Coordination

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
