Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Everyone takes turns to roll the die to see how many chomps the pig will take. Push down the pig's head to chomp the burger. With every pump, the pig's stomach will get bigger, bigger and bigger. But don't feed him too much because if he pops, you lose.
Product Description
This little piggy goes POP! The Best-Selling Game in France, Germany, Spain, and Canada has come to America! Players take turns rolling the die to see how many chomps the pig will take. Feed the pig a burger and help him to swallow by pushing down his head the number of times indicated on the back of the burger. With every pump, the pig's stomach will get bigger, bigger, and bigger until he pops! As seen on TV, this game is hilarious fun!
How to Play
The youngest player starts the game by rolling the die. The player will then choose a burger that is the color that the die indicates. For example if the die lands on the color red then the player chooses from the red burgers. Underneath each burger there is a number between 1 and 4. This number tells the player how many times to press down on the pig’s head. Each time the head is pressed down, the belly of the pig grows and grows. The game continues until players hear a pop! The pig’s arms fly up and his belt pops open. They player that popped the pig is the winner!

My son and I both like this game. Unlike with the other reviewer, our pump works just fine. We've never run out of burgers before the belly inflates and the jacket bursts open.
However, I suspect the problem they ran into is that your 3yo (in our case) has to stand over the toy, hold hands in CPR form, and push down on the head (while you hold the feet) and push until it clicks once for each number. A #3 burger means three CPR pushes and three clicks. It really is hard to push than it should be.
Like the other reviewer said, the belt never stays closed, and the jacket usually bursts open one notch right at the first pump. The losing pump is still pretty obvious, though, with the jacket bursting open completely and both arms flying up in the air.
We both find it enjoyable and easy to play, but don't expect this to be a table game; it's a floor game due to the inflating position required.
One great plus: all the burgers and the die store right inside the pig. After the last round, just feed the outstanding pieces to him (don't inflate) and it's ready to store. I like games that are unlikely to lose pieces :)

When I saw this game in the store ads I thought it looked like a neat little board game. [...]
Pop the Pig requires no assembly and comes with said pig, 16 hamburgers, and a colored die. Each player rolls the die which tells them what color hamburger to feed the pig (there are 4 colors: red, yellow, green, & purple). Each hamburger has a number on its bottom bun that tells players how many times to push down on the pig's chef hat. This inflates the pig's belly, which will eventually cause his belly to pop out. This process is repeated until only one person has avoided causing the pig's belt to unbuckle, making them the winner.
The game has a simple and humorous concept but doesn't quite live up to its potential. Players have to really push down on the pig's hat in order for the belly to inflate. I've found that pushing down with both hands is necessary in order to get enough air to the pig's belly. It feels similar to performing CPR, and young children may get winded from exerting so much effort. The piggy makes a clicking noise each time it inflates, which is a welcome indicator to let you know your pushes have registered.
Even with this shortcoming, Pop the Pig is still a pleasant game. Young children around the ages of 3-8 will likely get a kick out of seeing the pig's belly expand and ultimately explode. Players may become a little flustered at the amount of presses it takes to get the pig to budge and overall short playing time but the game is entertaining in short bursts. I wouldn't suggest spending more than $20 on it, though.
Pros:
*Amusing concept
*Can be played with up to 6 people
*Very easy to pack/unpack (the box has plenty of room to fit all of the game's contents)
*Some variation in how quickly the Pig explodes
Cons:
*Instructions aren't as clear as they should be
*Game only takes about 15 minutes at most to finish
*Getting the pig to pop takes a lot of effort and presses to the head

My kids saw the commercial for this game & wanted it for Christmas. A complete disappointment! Don't waste your money -- The pig's head is too hard to pump and the stomach never really explodes.

Amusing
The kids are amused by the action of putting the burgers into the piggy's mouth. But the belly busts open by itself.
