Block the Pig

'Block the Pig' is a cute, turn based game where your opponent is a naughty pig (looking somewhat like a rabbit, though) who escaped from the pigpen. In order to prevent damage (and loss of the dinner) you need to stop it from leaving your yard. Unfortunately, you have no better equipment to prevent him from fleeing, but a bunch of stones that can be put on piggy's way on the hexagonal playing field in order to block it. The playground already has some stones scattered around which will make your job a bit easier. First three stones can be placed while the pig is still, but every next move will be followed by the pig's move. If it reaches the border of the field, you lose the game (and, probably, the pig itself - only the wolf will be happy). Who could believe that pigs can be so good at tactics? If you win, you'll get a cute animation if piggy swinging on its little backside, and a surprising message that says: 'pig is blocked'. Who could ask for more!? Strategy to win? Well, as you'd assume, the key is in those three initial moves that you play while the pig is still - still. So, here are some 'Block the Pig' tips:

• First, try to block three nearest exits where the pig will surely go.
• If existing stones are too scattered, so that there is too much open space in between, place your stones in the middle of them so that you, at least, make pig's way a bit longer. Try to make 'corridors' only one stone wide so that you can block them later (depending of where the pig decides to move)
• Predefined stones play a big role - sometimes the task is trivial and you can block the pig only with those three bonus moves. Sometimes the task seems impossible (unfortunately, you go right back to the beginning after the failed level).
