Pigdorf is an easy and popular variation of baldorf. Learning this game is the first step to becoming a baldorf Master.
The best way to introduce new players to baldorf is by teaching them something else entirely!
A game of creativity and strategic agility that can be played by anyone, anywhere, anytime, it’s similar to H-O-R-S-E, minus the basketball, hoop and court restrictions. Players select a dorf from their game set, choose a “shot” and, if executed as planned, challenge the next player to make that same shot. If a player fails to complete the challenge shot, they get a P, I or G. It’s a perfect indoor, outdoor, and on-the-go game – encouraging children and adults to step away from their devices and interact with each other.
Pigdorf Rules
Any number of players can compete with creative shots while trying to avoid gaining the letters P-I-G.
- The first player attempts a creative shot with a dorf, anywhere and anyhow. Be sure to thoroughly explain each shot.
- If the player misses their attempt the next player attempts to make a creative shot of their own. This continues until a shot is made.
- If the player makes their creative shot, all other players must try the same shot.
- When a player misses a shot they get a letter. P, then I, then G.
- When a player misses a shot that would give them the letter G they can “Prove It” by attempting the same shot a second time. If the player proves it, they are still in the game with only two letters (P-I). If they miss, they get a ‘G’ and are out of the game.
- During the game there are no warm up shots, dribbling is ok, but any shot counts as a turn. Players who are not currently shooting can practice.
Last person not to spell P-I-G is the winner.
Remember: There are no losers in baldorf, only non-winners.
