Rules & Validation

Turn Structure

1. Player rolls the die.
2. If the result is 2–6: points are added to the player's turn total. Player may continue rolling or bank (add turn total to their game score and end their turn).
3. If the result is 1 (Pig Out): the player's entire turn total is forfeited and their turn ends immediately with zero points banked.
4. The next player takes their turn.

Validation Rules

• Turn total is always a non-negative integer.
• A Pig Out submits 0 for the turn.
• Banked turn total may be 0 if the player banks before rolling (unusual but allowed).

Special Actions / Bonuses

• Pig Out: Roll a 1. All turn points lost. Turn ends.
• Big Pig (variant): Two pigs out in a row (two consecutive 1s in the same turn) causes the player to lose their entire game score, not just turn points.

Win Conditions

• Condition: First player to reach or exceed 100 points wins. If multiple players hit 100 in the same round, the player with the highest total wins.
• Tie-Breaker: If tied at end of a complete round, play an additional round.
