Block the Pig Game

About Block the Pig

Block the Pig is a turn-based puzzle game set on a hexagonal grid where your only goal is to trap a very determined pig. Each turn, you place a single stone block on an empty tile, and the pig responds by moving one hex closer to the edge of the board. It is a game of containment, requiring you to think spatially and predict where the pig will run before it gets there.

The challenge comes from the pig's AI, which always takes the most direct, shortest route to freedom. If you just react to its movements, you will quickly run out of space. Success means looking at the board, spotting the obvious escape routes, and building walls ahead of time to force the pig into a corner. When the pig reaches the edge of the board, it escapes and the level is over.

Controls

Left Click or Tap: Place a stone block on an empty hexagonal space.

Tips

Look for the shortest path: Before you place your first block, identify the pig's quickest route to the edge and cut it off immediately.
Build wide walls: Placing blocks in a scattered pattern leaves gaps. Try to build connected, wide walls that force the pig to waste turns running around them.
Start far away: Instead of dropping blocks directly next to the pig, place them closer to the edge of the board to create an unavoidable perimeter.
