  Frequently Asked Questions

  Q. Why I am not able to view or play the game?
  A. You might have to check the preferences section in your browser to make sure that the option to view Java applets is turned on, or your browser may be incapable of showing Java applets.
  
  

  Q. I've noticed that snouters and leaning jowlers don't appear that often. Why is that?
  A. This game plays just like the real Pass the Pigs game. The odds of when a player would actually roll a leaning jowler or a snouter were calculated and incorporated into this game.
  
  Q. I just got an oinker and it only shows that I currently have zero points, but it didn't wipe out the points before that. Why not?
  A. Just like the real game, this game will only wipe out your current points. You do have zero points, but there is no need to change all of your points in your previous rounds to zero.
  
  Q. The computer just beat me again, does it cheat?
  A. No. Many players lose because they can't do math or get too emotional during the game. The computer does not have these problems and is therefore a tough opponent. You can change the computer level by clicking on the Options button.
  
  Q. In the real game you can "Hog Call" and get points by guessing the roll an opponent will get before they roll. How do you do that in this game?
  A. That is an optional rule which is not included in this game. Real pigs players stick to the basics.
  
  Q. Where is the Piggyback or Makin' Bacon position where one pig balances on top of the other?
  A. I could lie and tell you that it's in the game but very rarely happens and you wouldn't know any better, but that's not my style. I've never seen it in real life and it is currently not in this game. Look for it in a future release.
  
  Q. Can I play Pigs on-line against a friend across the Internet?
  A. No. If you have friends, why are you playing pigs on your computer in the first place? You can play 2 player by clicking on the Options button, but the other player must be at your computer.
