Disclaimer: This game makes unfair stereotypes and statements. The intent is merely to be humorous and at the same time challenge over-simplification and stereotyping.

Number of players: 2 - 4

Objective:

To be the player with the most happiness points at the end of 10 minutes from the first turn. A timer is used to specify when 10 minutes is over.

Setup:

• Each player picks a pig or sheep token.

• Each player starts out with zero happiness points.

• A scorekeeper is elected to keep track of the player’s points on paper.

• All 24 cards are placed face down, mixed up, and then placed in a big circle.

• Each player places their token on any card. Multiple tokens may coexist on a card.

• Roll for first play (high roll). Play then proceeds clockwise.

Play:

A turn consists of:

a) Flip a coin. If heads, advance two cards clockwise. If tails, advance one card clockwise. Make sure the card you vacate is turned face down to help maintain the illusion that life is random.

b) Turn the new card over. If you are a pig the red rule applies. If you are a sheep the blue rule applies.

c) Roll the die unless the card says to lose one or more turns. If the card says "no effect", add the number of points on the die to your total happiness points. If the card says double or triple then add double or triple your roll. If the card says "half" add to your total happiness points {1,2,3} points for rolls of { (1,2), (3,4), (5,6) }.
