Three for a pig

Three for a pig is a car game, an alternative to pub cricket for the open countryside.

Two players are given a side of the road, left or right. The aim is to score 100 points for animals on your side with these rules:

  • three for a pig
  • minus ten for a horse
  • cat looking out of the window is 100

and otherwise animals score one point. The usual rules include these points:

  • you only count animals beyond the carriageway on your side;
  • estimate for flocks of sheep and so on;
  • humans, birds and other non-mammals don't count;
  • scores never drop below zero under the horse rule.
