Bringing Home the Bacon
2–4 players · 40 min · 9+
Bringing Home the Bacon is a childrens game where players collect slices of bacon while moving around a board using colored playing pieces with a small pole and die.
The slices of bacon are represented as wooden or plastic discs with a central hole. Groups of 3 or 4 are strategically placed on colored circles around the board. Players land directly on the colored circle and collect a slice of bacon to place on their pole. If the player can land on a colored circle the same as his playing piece the player collects all the slices of bacon. Directly landing on an opposition player results in capturing all their slices of bacon.
The game ends when all the bacon is taken and the player with the most slices is the winner.
