Pass the Pigs

Pass the Pigs




For 2 or more players

Go hog wild with the pig-tastic game, Pass the Pigs. Players attempt to rack up points by rolling the pig dice – but if they’re not careful they might ‘Pig Out’ and lose all their points. Pass the Pigs is the sizzlin’ fun, shakin’ bacon game!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Fun for the whole family
We love Pass the Pigs! It is fun enough to entertain a group of adults, can be played as a drinking game if you wish, and is also fun for my 4 and 6 year old kids. They are recognizing the points for different combos, and it employs math skills too in adding up scores. Lots of fun for young and old alike. I have already recommended it to a couple friends!

5 Stars Easy and Fun for friends
This game is great. I love this game. It is so simple and fun, because there is always lots of laughs with the people you play this with.

I used to own a copy of this came when it was called “Pig Mania”.

There is one small negative of the the game, the score pad is small, but that is all. I like the fact it comes in a portable case.

4 Stars Small but Fun!
Pass the Pig is a great travel game. Lots of fun for all ages. Its small and compact. But you have to be careful not to loose the pigs! Played it when I was ten and now again when I’m 28.

5 Stars Fun family game; don’t lose the pigs
We have a blast with this game. I have a five yr old, and getting him to sit still and play a game is not easy. He loves this game. I also have a 1.5 yr old, and she likes the pigs. As is true with any toy with small parts, watch out for the little ones picking up and walking off with the pigs; they are small.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this game.

4 Stars Best Dice Game – The Game That Doesn’t Use Dice, It Uses Pigs Instead
This product is the greatest little game I have ever played. Any person(s) will be provided with loads of fun, laughs and enjoyment will playing Pass the Pigs. A great game for both children and adults.

Baby Einstein Activity Keys

Baby Einstein Activity Keys



User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Just okay…with some good features
My son received this key set as a gift, it has been mildly diverting: in his first month the ‘traffic lights’ caught his eye, and the slim white handle was the first thing he grabbed onto — the teether is a good shape and soft for gums. The set, however, only keeps him occupied for a moment; the bread slice is the least interesting piece and I wish I could remove it but the set is screwed in place. It’s difficult for him to focus on any one feature. I found individual soft rings were better for grasping and teething. Inexpensive, could attach to a chair/stroller with a plastic link for mild amusement.

5 Stars Great travel toy!
We received this as a gift and our daughter loves it! She loves to chew on it, and push the button to light it up. When she first started playing with it at about 3 months, she had some trouble pushing the button, but she loves to stare at the lights, but now she has no problem. This is a good toy to throw in the diaper bag to take places because it is small, and is easy to clean.

4 Stars Activity Keys
I purchased this for my 6 month old and he likes to hold the keys and push the button. I should have purchased this item a couple of months ago to gain maximum benefit from the activities. Six months is a little advanced for the keys although my son likes the blinking lights and is teething so he chews on the teether. Sound on this product would be great-nevertheless it is a great price and a great purchase.

4 Stars Nice and colorful.
Cute toy, buttons not as easy to push, but still ok. Little ones liked it.

5 Stars great toy
My twins love this. My daughter refuses to let go of it and carries it around with her everywhere, so much so that I had to get a second for my son. They got more fun out of it once they figured out how to make the traffic lights come on themselves.

5 Stars GREAT TRAVEL ENTERTAINMENT!!
GOT THIS FOR MY GRANDCHILD. THEY TOOK IT ON VACATION TO THE BEACH. WELL MADE AND LOTS OF ACTIVITY FOR HER.

5 Stars favorite
This is my babies favorite toy. I don’t know how many times it’s given me an extra second to heat up a bottle or grab a diaper when she’s fussy. She loves to look at the octopus and smile back at him. I think she’ll probably carry him around when she’s older.

1 Star Misleading Title is Misleading
As I excitedly tore open the package of my brand new Baby Einstein Baby Neptune Ocean Adventure Gym, I thought eagerly of how it might banish the banalities of my everyday. I could almost feel the plush, multi-colored fish beneath my trembling fingertips. It was as if the six classical melodies were already crooning to me as I relaxed on the prop-up whale pillow, my every care melting away. Anticipatory drool began to dribble down my chin as I imagined the On-the-Go plush teething octopus clenched gently between my canines. The thought of detaching him from the gym structure and taking him absolutely everywhere with me was almost more than I could stand; we would be inseparable. I knew that next week’s arrival of Jacque, the Lamaze Peacock, would complete this blissful outfit. And at only 34.5 x 31 x 19, it was sure to fit in my cubicle at the office.

When the box arrived, I asked my secretary to hold my calls for the day so I could spend some quality time with my new entertainment center. The website assured me that my soft activity gym would “come to life with the crisp and colorful real life scenery of the sea.” I took it out of the box immediately and followed the minimal assembly instructions, anticipating a mind-expanding voyage into the deep. With bated breath, I laid my head upon the whale pillow and waited. Turning my face to the side, I screamed in horror at the sight of my sagging, weary face, caught in the flash of the baby-safe, fish-shaped mirror.

Nobody told me a mirror came with this thing. And I don’t own mirrors for a reason. Last summer, my girlfriend found me locked in my bathroom, staring at the mirror while repeatedly slapping my cheeks and screaming the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody over and over in the shrillest tone I could muster. They had to break down the door and drag me out, shortly after which Wanda dumped me for our mailman. I haven’t looked in a mirror since. But I digress.

The point is, folks, that I’ve had adventures, and I’ve been to the ocean. And this product, though promising both, offers neither upon arrival. Promotes trilingual learning? More like trilingual horror. I’m sending this goddamn octopus and his cronies back from whence they came.

5 Stars Entertaining
This is much more entertaining than some of the other themes I have seen out there. It has much more for the baby to do and look at and interact with. There is music (which you can detach that piece and use on the crib) and lights and the big whale with lots of places to hang different things and switch it up. Gotta have this. Don’t always go for just the things that LOOK cute. This looks cute and gets the job done!

5 Stars We’re having a blast!
The baby einstein gym has been really helpful with baby’s tummy time and early development. She especially likes the mirror and octopus attachment. I appreciate how helpful it’s been setting it up next to my desk as I try to get a few chores done.
