Pig pong combines the ever popular "sport" of ping pong with, well, plastic pigs. The contents are 1 net, 2 scoring tokens (shaped like pigs), 1 serving trough, 6 puff balls and 4 pigs. The general idea of the game is to have two teams, on either side of the plastic net, squeeze the plastic pigs. In doing so, the pigs act like bellows and push a very light "puff" ball towards the opponent. If the puff lands anywhere on one team's side, the opposing team receives a point. The puff is then placed on the serving trough (a mini-shelf on the net) and on the count of "oink" the teams bellow away again. First team to 11 points is the winner!
