Tips & Warnings
Typically in Catch The Pig, the player that is caught only has to drink one drink. Some players like to alter these rules though by having that player roll both dice. The combination of the two dice indicates how many drinks the player must drink.
Another variation of Catch The Pig has the player who gets caught taking a shot instead of drinking his own beverage. The player directly across from that person gets to choose the shot.
This game can get very loud and frantic. If you are playing it at a bar, be considerate of the people around you.
Be responsible--do not drink and drive.
