ABOUT THE GAME

PIG is a unique blend of a card game and a board game, thrusting players into the heart of an epic battle between humanity and alien invaders. Designed for 2 or 4 players, each participant plays with a custom-built deck. Officially classified by us as an “expandable card game with tactical combat”, PIG features over 600 cards, offering limitless possibilities for deck-building. This freedom ensures that every game feels fresh, unique and exciting. Players can choose from 5 factions—Left, Right, Authoritarian, Liberal, and Neutral—that can be combined to create powerful, tactical, and often hilarious combinations. The game revels in the grotesque absurdities of the modern world, featuring everything from famous figures and events to pop culture, internet memes, wild conspiracy theories, and interdimensional adventures. All of this seasoned with a huge dose of humor and politically incorrect gags. The gameplay revolves around placing cards on a board and maneuvering units to gain control and popularity. In addition to units, players can play buildings, upgrades, events, and counter cards to boost their chances of victory. Each player starts with 10 life points, and the main goal of the game is to reduce the opponent's life to zero. Good luck, and may the funniest (or sneakiest) strategist win!

STORY

Earth (Dimension No. 621311142315), year 2026

Planet Earth appears to be ruled by humans, but this is nothing more than an elaborate illusion. In truth, higher entities from distant galaxies have controlled the world since ancient times. Politicians and bankers, driven by their lust for power and wealth, have sold their souls to these interstellar lizards, wielding authority on their behalf. Under this tyrannical regime, humanity is forced into slave labor for greedy, evil corporations. Freedom of speech is now a distant memory, a relic of a bygone era. In the face of this oppression, one desperate man, John Kowalski—a passionate conspiracy theorist—chooses to risk it all. Against all odds, he manages to assassinate one of the highest-ranking Reptilians. However, this heroic act comes at a cost and it seals humanity’s tragic fate. Furious at the rebellion, the Reptilians decide to annihilate all who resist their rule. A massive mothership descends upon Earth, casting a menacing shadow over the land as it systematically reduces rebellious cities to rubble, imposing a new brutal order on the world. It seems the days of free humanity are numbered. However, in a remote corner of the globe, a faint glimmer of hope endures. The supreme leader of both Koreas—protector of the last human enclave in the Far East—refuses to yield. In a bold final act, he orders the launch of relatively precise missiles aimed at the lizard invaders' mothership. Tragically, a miscalculation by his engineers results in catastrophic consequences, as one of the rockets strikes what appears to be an ordinary farmland near Geneva… In the aftermath of the explosions, the damaged Large Hadron Collider succumbs to the chaos and erupts, creating a black hole that opens an interdimensional time portal. From this portal emerge beings with extraordinary powers and abilities unknown in this reality. Their worlds have already been destroyed, but the newcomers are determined to defend this one. Thus begins the last great battle for humanity's survival, and the fate of Earth now rests in your hands.

DECK BUILDING

To kick your opponent’s ass, start by building a deck of 40 cards. Your deck can include a mix of units, buildings, events, counters, or upgrades, but there are rules to follow! You can include up to 2 copies of any regular card and only 1 copy of each unique card. A good idea at the beginning of your adventure with PIG is to have a large number of units in your deck—around 25 should be enough. Also, remember that your cards shouldn't be excessively expensive.

The game features five factions, each represented by a distinct color. You can mix cards from two adjacent colors on the faction compass, along with neutral cards (white). For example, you can build a deck with blue and black cards plus white cards, but you can’t include red or yellow cards in it. Remember, you cannot combine opposing colors on the faction compass in your deck.

So, politically incorrect novice: don't waste time, select the best cards, learn their synergies, craft epic combos, and show what you're capable of on the board of the Politically Incorrect Game!

GAMEPLAY

Building your own deck was just the first step—now the real challenge begins. Your skills and quick thinking will be put to the test in an epic battle! Start by drawing 5 cards from your deck. At this point, you can replace any number of them with new ones drawn from the top of your deck. Pro tip: low-cost cards are very handy in the early game—seriously! At the beginning of each turn, you will draw one additional card from your deck. Remember, the maximum number of cards in your hand is 8, so if you exceed this limit, you will be forced to discard the excess cards at the end of the turn.

Simply having cards is not enough; you also need to play them. To do this, you must pay their cost, which is shown in the top right corner of each card—this is called "popularity”. In the first turn, you have 1 popularity token. These tokens renew each turn, and their number increases by 1 with each turn, up to the 10th turn, from which point until the end of the game, you have a constant 10 popularity tokens at the beginning of your turn. Of course, there are cards that increase the popularity limit above 10, and they are usually used to play the most powerful legendary units.

Gameplay, in a nutshell, revolves around placing cards on the game board. Players move their units and battle opponents to gain tactical advantage over the board. In addition to units, you can play buildings, cast upgrades and artifacts on units, or use event and counter cards to turn the tide in your favor.

Each player starts with 10 life points. The ultimate goal of the game is to reduce the opponent's life to zero by attacking them with units directly from the slot on the board closest to them or indirectly with events and other cards. Stay sharp, if your deck runs out of cards, you lose instantly. If this happens remember: don’t hate the opponent, hate the game!

Is PIG just a humorous party game made for fun, or does it also have serious and balanced mechanics?

Mechanically, PIG is an accessible game suitable for party play, but also quite challenging to master. Our main goal was to combine solid, innovative, and tactical mechanics with satire. We want players to stretch their minds, test their skills, and either roll on the floor laughing or open their mouths in surprise during the game.
