About Piggy Pen

"Piggy Pen" is an engaging board game where players strategically place fence pieces to form 1x1 squares, or "pig pens," on a 4x4 grid. Based on the classic game of Dots and Dashes, the goal is to claim more pens than your opponent using your colored pig pieces.

Perfect for families and friends aged 4+, Piggy Pen combines strategic thinking with adorable farmyard fun for a playing time of 3-10 minutes.

More Than Just Fun

Piggy Pen isn't just entertaining; it's designed to subtly enhance critical STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills! As players strategize to claim pens, they are developing:

  • Spatial Reasoning: Understanding how lines create shapes.
  • Thinking Ahead: Planning moves and anticipating strategies.
  • Edge Logic: Identifying optimal line placements to maximize gains.
  • Mathematical Concepts: Counting, patterns, and basic geometry.

Give your child a head start in STEM, wrapped in a delightful farm adventure!
