Pig Goes Pop

It’s April and whether planning an Easter break, a summer holiday, or a simple staycation, all parents will be mulling that dread question – how to keep the kids entertained? Long journeys usually represent their own special kind of hell and rainy days at home a variation on a theme, so portable games that involve more than one child can be an absolute blessing. Allow me, if you will, to introduce Pig Goes Pop.

During the last few years Drummond Park have found a growing place in the consciousness of parents everywhere, with games like Dino Bites going down an absolute storm with kids of all ages, and Pig Goes Pop is proving to be equally successful.

With all pieces packed safely away inside Pig’s tummy, this is the ultimate in transportable porcine play! Ideal for car, train and plane travel, as well as in the home, the aim of the game is to feed Mr Pig as much as possible without him going pop! The rules are simple and easy to follow, so no need for parental involvement (although Pig’s expanding belly is quite a sight to behold and you’ll probably find yourself being drawn in!), and yet it’s surprisingly good fun. Players merely roll the coloured dice, feed Pig the corresponding burger and help him chew his meal by pumping his head. With each pump Pig’s girth increases until his buttons can take the strain no longer.

Pig Goes Pop is currently the UK third most popular game and was a winner at the 2012 Toy Industry Awards.

Pig Goes Pop is £19.99, suitable for 2-6 players aged 4+ and available from all good toy retailers, including www.amazon.co.uk. For more information visit www.DrummondPark.com.
