Grab A Pig Card Game Gets The Silver Award(2009)
Grab a Pig is an award winning card game that is loved by children and adults alike, this year (2009) was no different. Any award from The Good Toy Guide is always special for us because it is the result of play testing by children and parents and this year they saw fit to award us the Silver award.
We know from personal experience of playing the game and from the testimonials that we regularly receive that Grab a Pig is a great game for travel, birthdays, christmas or any other happy social gathering but to receive this recognition is always very important for us.

Yet again Grab A Pig receives an award from the Good Toy Guide the prestigious "Highly Recommended" again proves just how much people love to play this popular card game.
The Good Toy awards are particularly important because the game gets played by our target audiences of children and families, and it is their comments and ratings that lead to us winning the award.
We are like parents at Prospecting In Gold extremely proud of the achievements of our child, in this case the Grab a Pig card game. Recognition for it's value as a great card game makes us weep with joy.
