Hello Friends,
Thank you for visiting my site. I've never thought of myself as an entrepreneur, but here we are! Whether you came out of curiosity, to support, or by accident, I appreciate the visit.
For my inaugural post, I'd like to share a classic game that I grew up playing with my mom and grandma and now play as a warm-up game with friends: Pass the Pigs.
The game is simple: roll the pigs. Based on how they land, you score points and have the option to keep rolling or bank your points.
I'll explain the stories behind the two Pass the Pigs-inspired T-shirt designs we have in the store below. If you don't have the game, here's a link to purchase it direct from Amazon (usually under $15): https://amzn.to/3EWuXPw (Commissions earned from link).
The first shirt says, "Stats can't tell you when the pigs are hot." There is a mathematical model on Wikipedia about when to hold and when to keep rolling, but sometimes when the pigs are telling you they're hot, you just gotta roll 'em.
The second shirt says, "Got Greedy." Frequently, when someone gets a dotted and a blank pig lying on their side, which means their turn is over and they score no points, we jokingly call them greedy. This is especially encouraged when it happens on their first roll.
Thanks again for reading. More posts coming on topics around disc golf, board games, and the occasional business post.

Life has taught me to go with the heart, and nothing rings truer than, "when the pigs are hot, oooo baby are they hott"
