Game Review: Galloping Pigs

Galloping pig is one of those games that are fun and easy to play. It is not really a deep thinking game but it is still a great filler game. Each game last around 15 to 20 minutes and can be learn in less than 5 minutes.


Our 2 sweet pitstopppers, Gwen and Joy will show you how the game is played

A racing track is setup and 5 colored pigs are placed on the starting line up. Each player will be given a certain number of "pig cards". Each pig card shows a pig of a particular color.


The different colored pigs. Cute right!


The pigs on the line and ready for some racing action

With these pig cards in hand, each player can decide which pig will get to move. Every pig card allows the specified colored pig to move a step forward.


Getting ready to move the pigs...


Playing the white pig card will allow the white pig to move forward

Everytime a pig can only take a step forward. However if the space ahead is occupied, the pig get to leap over the other pigs into the first available unoccupied space.

On top of that, everytime you played a pig card and the pig get to move to the front of the pack, you get a vegetable! This leads to some interesting sabotaging among players. A pig would get so far ahead in the race and as a result even if player moves the other pigs, they would not be able to get the vegetables.


See the vegetables that were collected

As you folks might guess it, the objective of the game is to collect as many vegetables as possible. This might sound simple but here is the catch. Even though you collect alot of vegetables, but on your last move if you can't make the selected pig goes to the front of the pack, all the vegetables you collected has to be discarded!

Hence there is still quite abit of strategy involved. You need to play your cards wisely to increase the probability of collecting more vegetables as well as to be able to keep all the vegetables when you played the last card.


Thanks to gwen and joy for helping with this review!

Galloping pig is a short but fun and easy game to play for 2-5 person. There is abit of strategy to the game but of course luck plays a big factor as at times it greatly depends on the move made by the player before your turn.

However with its cute colored pigs and ability for each player to sabotage the others, this game is lots of fun. The game is very simple hto learn and play hence i also term this game as "chat and play" type of game; you can just chat and catch up with each other and yet play the game at the sametime.

While it may get bored after a coule of games, this is still a game that every now and then you would just like to get it out and let those cute pigs gallop round the tracks again.

Overall it is a great simple fun filler game. So do give it a try!

Pitstop Cafe, gallop your way here now. First one get some vegetables...

A great Christmas celebration

Times flies when you are having fun right! Before you know it, Christmas is over and a new year is coming right up. Pitstop Cafe has a really enjoyable Christmas eve and Christmas day. The cafe is filled with laughter from all you Pitstoppers.

Would like to thank the Pitstop Crew for their help over this festive season. You guys really did a good job making sure that the Pitstoppers had a great time!

Everyone was really in a festive mood, doing all sort of funny stuff at the cafe, such as...


Forcing 2 penguins to kiss each other...


Of course one of them was kinda of piss off by the other..hehee

Of course we have our own "turkey" special. In place of having turkey, we have soy sauce chicken instead! These chicks aint just ordinary chicks, we bought them from some restaurants and they taste really good.

I personally think that turkey isn't that nice. Anyone like turkey?


The crew in place ready to serve out the "turkey" to the Pitstoppers


Every table was serve with a generous portion of the bird as well as snacks and sweets


Look at their smiles, the chick must be good right!


Of course we did not forget those who were at the balcony...

It was really fun as we push out more of the delicious chicken at various intervals. There were really nice gifts from Pitstoppers like Ben, Jenny, Joseph and many more. We receive gifts from the Pitstop Crew too.


Thanks to all for the nice gifts


We have gifts for you folks too...

It was a great Christmas celebration and we look forward having you guys over at New Year eve too!

Pitstop Cafe, its so much fun!

The Pitstop Crew Feature Part 2- Thomas

The 2nd Oommpa Loompa that we have imported into Pitstop Cafe is Thomas, a.k.a Tommy.

Like most men, Tommy loves to discuss the latest computer games, IT gadgets, soccer matches and what have you. To all Pitstoppers, any IT problems, IT doubts or questions that you have, feel free to ask this IT genius. Tommy will be more than willing to reply you.

If you are in a mood to learn some foreign languages, talk to Tommy. Catch him in a pleasant mood, he might impress you with one or two Japanese and Spanish phrases.

Como se yama? Me nombre es Thomas.お元気ですか 私はトーマスです

Besides these talented aspects of Tommy, there is more to his 'manly' nature. . . ( Human beings are complex)

Look at all these neatly arranged utensils

Tommy's nimble fingers enable him to neatly fold the utensils. His anal characteristic ensures that all utensils are placed and angled at a specific direction and location. No more, no less. You will be surprised that a man can handle such a task better than a woman.

To all those out there...if you think you can wrap utensils faster than Tommy and place the untensils neater than Tommy. Or if you think you can speak better Japanese or Spanish languages,do drop by Pitstop Cafe to challenge Tommy. Before you do so, remember to make a reservation yea?

I am Thomas the undefeatable!

Pitstop Cafe, always a place to have fun!!!!!

From our negotiations with the contractors and authorities, to our first walk in customer , then to our first media feature, and to our revamp. From a sterile and plain walls to a graffiti filled and memory laden space.

The new year welcomes the holy matrimony of Astro and Eve, and the final semester from university for Tim and Mumu.

And likewise, fellow Pitstoppers who have been supporting Pitstop cafe throughout their university years, how would Pitstop cafe still continue to be part of their journey as they venture into the working society. From being eligible for students' night to being eligible for corporate night.....


A cafe of personality, possible because of all your support!

These are the exciting journey will unfold for both the Pitstop crew and you Pitstoppers. How will the story of Pitstop cafe continue as these four folks embarked on their new phase in life? How will we write the new chapter of Pitstop cafe?

Let me tell you how:

The Pitstop Crew Feature Part 1-Carolin

Pitstoppers should realised by now that lotsa 'foreign-looking' face have been serving you, teaching you games and even the usual tonal quality of the 'welcome' has been different (not so out of tune).

Well, that's because we have imported a whole bunch of oommpa loompas to increase your Pitstop experience. These new Pitstop crews are specially selected, went through intense training. Throughout this period of time, we realised that these new crews all have certain 'special ability'.

We're gonna give you a feature of one of the crews, so stay tuned for more!

CAROLIN

This folk could hum to the latest R and B tunes and do some funky hip hop moves. She has a way with fellow Pitstoppers, making em' laugh, cracking silly jokes and teaching her favorite game 'Brainstrain'!


she is a real strain on the brain

Yea...do ask for Carolin when you pop by Pitstop cafe the next time, cuz she can really make you come as strangers and leave as friends. Oh.. did I mention that she has such great rapport with the folks that on their next visit, they practically hugged each other maciam they know each other for years!


For folks who prefer understanding their game in mandarin, ask for Carolin

Oh, and I must really say that she could adapt well in a place surrounded by meat chompers.Being the only vegetarian crew, she has equipped herself with tons of vegeterian stuffs.. she could whipped up vege porridge, vege mee and uh..vege lovers.. but when asked what's your favorite dish? she replied, 'oh, I'm a maneater!'


Roar! Chomp Chomp Chomp!

Maneater!?!? heard that? no wonder, Eve has been complaining that there are no many guys around... now we know where they have ended up. So do pop by at Pitstop cafe, to check out all our cool crews and their 'special ability'!

Pitstop cafe, there's a niche for everyone.
