    The Laughing Pig – Buzz Party

    Born in the 30s, the famous Laughing Pig game is modernized with a Buzz Party version. We roll the three dice to get aces and add disguise attributes to the pig which will then transform into a unicorn, a superhero, etc. But be careful, in this version, if a butcher’s face or a pig’s face appears when throwing the dice, it will be necessary to be the fastest to press the buzzer in the form of a snout. If it was the pig side, the player who won can put two attributes and if it was the butcher side, he will have to remove one from one of the opposing players. 

    • Age: from 7 years old.
