Piggy Hunting

Game Title: Piggy Hunting

Platform: Tabletop Card Game

Genre: Party / Card Game

Rating: E+

Target Market: Teens and young adults (Ages 13+); fast-paced, highly social, and chaotic party game style.

Game Overview: You are a butcher inside one of the town's most famous meat shops, tasked with dominating the market and taking out competing shops that are trying to steal your success. Your primary objective is to sell all of your products by being the first player to get rid of all 13 cards in your hand, earning Cash Tokens in the process.

Players take turns playing valid combinations of cards—such as singles, pairs, triples, and numerical sequences—to beat the previous player's hand. The tension ramps up with the "Dinner Rush" mechanic: the moment a player is reduced to exactly 6 cards, they must roll a die to trigger a random, chaotic event like a Health Inspector visit, a Clearance Sale, or a sudden Market Crash. Players must balance strategic card holding (like saving "Cleavers" to chop high-value "Pigs") with the unpredictable twists of the competitive meat market.

Instructions:

• Requirements for playing the game: You will need a physical standard 52-card deck (without Jokers), 9 Cash Tokens, and one 6-sided die. The game requires 2 to 4 players to play.
• Overview of controls: Players hold their hands of cards and place their chosen combinations face-up into a central play zone. Players must verbally announce a "Pass" when they choose not to play a card. A player rolls the 6-sided die to determine random events during the match.
