Pass the Pigs
CLICK TO REQUEST THIS ITEM FROM THE EVERGREEN CATALOG! (LOCAL PICKUP ONLY - SELECT "HOPKINTON PUBLIC LIBRARY" AS PICKUP LOCATION.)
"This very portable beer & pretzels game comes as a pocket travel case containing 2 pig dice, two pencils and a scoring booklet that also includes the scoring table. The pigs are actual pig miniatures, with a dot on their right flanks.
The object is to be the first to score 100 points using "pigs" as dice. On your turn, you throw the pigs and hope they end up in a scoring position such as a "snouter," "trotter," or "leaning jowler" (ranging in value from 1 to 60 points); if they do, you decide whether to "cash" the points (pass the pigs to the next player) or to roll again. If you roll a non-scorer ("pig out" - one pig on the right flank, the other on the left flank; a fairly frequent result), you lose any as-yet-uncashed points. If you throw an "oinker" (both pigs touching each other), you lose your entire accumulated score. If you throw a "piggyback" (one pig on top of the other), you're altogether eliminated!
The variant Hog Call rules allow the other players to risk predicting the outcome of the throw; if predicted successfully, the hog caller earns twice the value of the position *and* deducts that same amount from the roller's score!"

Quao
CLICK TO REQUEST THIS ITEM FROM THE EVERGREEN CATALOG! (LOCAL PICKUP ONLY - SELECT "HOPKINTON PUBLIC LIBRARY" AS PICKUP LOCATION.)
"QUAO is the absolute, supreme ruler of an unruly wasteland at the edge of civilization where attempts at democracy are futile. There is only one law in the land and that law is QUAO (pronounced ‘cow’). The mighty and all-powerful bovine of the badlands, QUAO governs the province by sheer antagonism. Only she knows the Rules and she hands them down with iron hoof.
WHAT’S UP WITH THE QUAO YOU ASK? First of all, she’s not just a cow, she’s a dictator and you better get used to playing by her Rules!
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE QUAO? When you play this game, being QUAO means you know the Rules and everyone else has to figure them out. You also hand out all the penalties! Use your secret Rules and the help of your loyal subjects Quak, JaQuas and BullyQ to win this game. Just watch out for Cheata’, because she could be your downfall!
OBJECT: Each player is dealt five white cards. Each player has a chance to discard one card during each turn. The person that successfully completes and discards all the cards in their hand first, wins the round and becomes the dictator QUAO. Whoever wins the fifth and final round is the ultimate dictator and the winner!
HOW TO PLAY: There are four different ‘suits’ of white cards and each suit is played differently when discarded. During each turn a player may discard one of their cards from their hand to the table.
This is a commercial variant of the public domain game Mao."

Taboo
CLICK TO REQUEST THIS ITEM FROM THE EVERGREEN CATALOG! (LOCAL PICKUP ONLY - SELECT "HOPKINTON PUBLIC LIBRARY" AS PICKUP LOCATION.)
"The Taboo game is the game of unspeakable fun! Who can get their teammates to say Pinball without being able to say Arcade, Game, Flippers, Tilt, or Roll? Not so easy now, is it? When playing the Taboo game, the obvious clues are strictly forbidden. Players race against the timer as they try to give creative and carefully-worded clues to get team players to guess words fast. But don't mention unmentionables, or it's time for the squeaker which means losing the point. Players can also play using the Game-changer die to mix things up. If it lands on One Guesser, only one teammate can guess on their turn. With 4 other possibilities on the die, players better be shrewd, quick-thinking, and willing to take some risks -- but don't get shut down by the squeaker!"

Telestrations
CLICK TO REQUEST THIS ITEM FROM THE EVERGREEN CATALOG! (LOCAL PICKUP ONLY - SELECT "HOPKINTON PUBLIC LIBRARY" AS PICKUP LOCATION.)
"Each player begins by sketching a TELESTRATIONS word dictated by the roll of a die. The old fashioned sand timer may limit the amount of time they get to execute their sketch, but it certainly doesn't limit creativity! Time's up! All players, all at the same time, pass their sketch to the next player, who must guess what's been drawn. Players then simultaneously pass their guess -- which hopefully matches the original word (or does it??) -- to the next player who must try to draw the word they see -- and so on."
