Three for a pig
Three for a pig is a
car game, an alternative to
pub cricket for the open countryside.
Two players are given a side of the road, left or right. The aim is to score 100 points for animals on your side with these rules:
- three for a pig
- minus ten for a horse
- cat looking out of the window is 100
and otherwise animals score one point. The usual rules include these points:
- you only count animals beyond the carriageway on your side;
- estimate for flocks of sheep and so on;
- humans, birds and other non-mammals don't count;
- scores never drop below zero under the horse rule.
