Rule Variations
Common rule variations include:
- Two dice: two dice are rolled instead of one.
- Double 1s are bad: all points are lost. (See "Two Dice Pig" below)
- All doubles are good: twice the amount added to the turn total, except double 1s add 25 points. (See "Big Pig" below)
- Any number of dice ("Hog" variation): the player rolls only once per turn with an arbitrary number of dice.
- 6 is bad: a roll of 6 is treated as a roll of 1.
A more comprehensive list of Pig rule variations is also available. Below are a few variations in detail.

Famous quotes containing the words rule and/or variations:
“Every writing career starts as a personal quest for sainthood, for self-betterment. Sooner or later, and as a rule quite soon, a man discovers that his pen accomplishes a lot more than his soul.”
—Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
