BLOCK THE PIG — Review + Tips & Tricks:

Block the Pig is a clever little showdown of wits—just you, a hexagonal grid, and one pig that’s surprisingly determined to escape. Each click places a stone wall, and every move the pig makes tests your foresight. It starts simple, but the thrill of “will it slip past me?” keeps you engaged longer than expected.

Your Objective
Your mission is to trap the pig before it reaches any border hex. It sounds straightforward, but the real challenge is that every wall you place can open a new escape route elsewhere. Success comes not from chasing, but from thinking ahead, planning multiple turns, and closing lanes the pig hasn’t tried yet.

Gameplay Mechanics
The pig begins near the center of the board. On your turn, you select a hex to build a barrier, and the pig moves one step toward freedom along any available path. Early moves are crucial—avoid randomly spamming walls. Start by forming a loose ring around the pig, then gradually tighten it by plugging gaps. Hex grids connect on six sides, so sneaky diagonal routes can appear quickly—block those first.

Why It’s Addictive
Every round is a fast, bite-sized puzzle with zero waiting time. You’ll find yourself whispering “just one more try” as you perfect your strategy: create a circular trap, anticipate pivots, corner the pig, and finally seal it in with a decisive block. Landing a clean capture and watching the grid lock is pure satisfaction.

Tips & Tricks
Start with control, not chaos. Place the first 3–4 blocks a few hexes away from the pig to sketch your initial trap.
Focus on corridors, not tail-chasing. Identify converging paths—one block can neutralize multiple escape options.
Keep a final stopper ready. Save one block for that last gap to ensure a guaranteed capture.
