Contents:
4 pig boards, 40 pants cards (4 of each of 10 pants).

Setting up:
• Each player chooses a pig board (on which they will place the pants that they collect during play) and places it in front of them.
• Each player is dealt two cards, which they hold in their hand.
• Four pants cards are place face up in a line in the centre and the remaining cards are placed face down in a pile next to them.

Object:
To collect the most cards on your pig board by matching the cards in your hand with the other cards in play.

To play:
The youngest player begins by looking at the cards in their hand to see if they match any of the other cards in play.
• If one or both of the cards in the player’s hand match any of the face up cards in the centre, or on another player’s board, they collect those cards and place them on their own board, along with the matching card(s). When collecting cards from another player’s board, the whole pile of cards is taken from that player and players may shout “I’m going to pinch your pants” or “I’m going to nick your knickers”.
• If one or both of the cards in the players hand match each other, or the top card of their own pile, they may add the matching cards to their pile.
• If the cards in their hand do not match any face up cards, the player shouts “No knickers” and places one of their cards with the line of face up cards in the centre. At the end of their turn, the player makes their hand back up to two cards by taking cards from the face down pile. Play then passes to the next player. The game ends when no one is able to match any further cards. The winner The winner is the player with the most pants cards on their pig board when the game ends.

Alternative Play:
In this more strategic variation, players may only play one card from their hand in any given turn, unless the cards in their hand match each other. The player must therefore decide which is the best card to play.

Recommended for ages 4+ and for 2-4 players.
