Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Legend tells of a tavern called BARPIG, where you can hear squeals and oinks of delight; The sounds of adventurous pigs challenging one another for victory or fall on the floor trying. However, not everyone is allowed in the illustrious BARPIG tavern, and some aren't too pleased about it! So when the good pigs are away, the bad pigs break in to play... BARPIG: After Hours is the stand-alone sequel AND a deck-buildable expansion to the highly popular BARPIG - The Adventure Party Game. Featuring 10 brand new characters and a swath of new items, BARPIG: After Hours features more strategic gameplay, adding a thematically darker side to the BARPIG universe. Expect alliances and treachery alongside your typical bouts of laughter and ridiculous fun our fans have come to expect from BARPIG. Planned to launch on Kickstarter in 2019, BARPIG: After Hours will be available to play-test at Dutch Comic Con 2018 at the American Book Centre booth. What is BARPIG - The Adventure Party Game? Imagine if you could embody a hero character with the power to challenge or otherwise embarrass your friends. But be careful, for those same friends wield powerful item cards that threaten to change the game at any moment! Now combine this with a leveling system to keep it competitive and a damage system to make it vindictive and this is BaRPiG - The unholy result of a one night stand between card-based role-playing games and a mostly ridiculous party. This seriously fun and highly portable game is perfect for anyone, anywhere and everywhere. Oh, and there will be pigs... What started as a bunch of silly puns written on a bar napkin has since become our out of control hobby.
