Spank the Pig! FAQs
Gameplay
What should we do if it’s not clear who should receive a Whammy?
Whammies are only given to a player when it’s clear they were the last to perform a correct action, or the first to perform an incorrect action. Therefore, if you’re unsure who should receive a Whammy, then no one receives one.
If there are 2 Pig cards do players need to spank both? And if there are 2 different Doubles does each player need to separately Declare each Double?
Yes and yes! You should Spank all the Pigs and Declare all the Doubles!
What happens if there are more than 2 Pig cards turned over in one round? (Players don’t have enough hands to spank more than 2 Pigs!)
This sometimes occurs in games with larger groups and can be a lot of fun! In this scenario, instead of giving a Whammy to the LAST player to spank each Pig, you should let the FIRST player to Spank each Pig get rid of one Whammy from their personal Whammy Pile! (If they do not have any Whammies yet, then nothing happens and the game continues to the next round as normal.)
What should we do if the cards played in previous rounds are causing confusion during the game?
If you find it helpful, you can discard the played cards at the end of each round and keep them in a pile to the side of the play area.
