Document Summary

Choose 1 of the 2 options: the game of pig. Pig is a simple dice game first described by john scarne in 19451. It is a form of jeopardy dice game, where a players decisions are between protecting current gains, or risking current gains to make greater gains. In pig, each player takes a turn rolling a 6-sided dice, playing to reach a certain total (typically 100). If a player rolls a value between 2 and 6 it is added to their score, and they can roll again. If they roll a 1 (a pig ), they lose their turn and add nothing to their score. At any point after rolling a 2-6, the player may choose to to hold, which ends their turn, and adds their turn total to their score. The winner is the first player to get a score greater than or equal to the total.
