Piggy GO

Piggy GO, full title Piggy GO - Clash of Coin, is a free-to-play social board game. You spend Dice to roll around a themed board, landing on tiles that pay Coins, hand you cards, or point you at another player's town to raid or attack.

The Coins go into building and upgrading your own town, which is the progression metric that everything else feeds. Complete card sets for large bonuses, collect ingredients for feast events, and join a team to trade with other players.

If that sounds familiar, it should: this is the same family as Coin Master and Dice Dreams, and we cover both. Piggy GO's own additions are a character system that boosts your raid and attack earnings, and the Pipi Puzzle Shop mini-game.

It launched worldwide on 25 March 2019 and has passed 10 million Android downloads, holding a 4.7 rating there from more than 653,000 reviews.

Forever9 Games, operating as HK FOREVER9 TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED, a Hong Kong registered company. The studio self-publishes and runs a portfolio of around ten social-casual titles.

You may already know one of its stablemates: Island King, which we also cover, alongside Piggy Boom, Spin A Spell and Heroic Journey. They share a design philosophy built on short repeatable loops, collection systems and social pressure.

Support runs through Facebook Messenger and email. Reviews commonly mention language barriers in support conversations, so keep your messages simple and factual if you need to open one.

Everything about how this game paces you comes down to Dice, so it is worth being precise.

• Regeneration: Around 5 Dice per hour.
• Cost: One Die per roll.
• Storage cap: There is one, and Forever9 has never published the number. It appears to vary by account level.
• The cap trap: Collecting free Dice while your storage is full does not bank the surplus. It is simply lost.

That last point is the one that costs regular players the most. If you claim a 50-dice link while sitting near your cap, most of those dice evaporate. Spend down first, then claim.

Forever9 has moved on this: version 4.37.0 raised the number of daily free dice claims from 10 to 15, in direct response to player complaints about daily dice limits.

1. 1

   Roll: Spend a Die and move around the board.

2. 2

   Land on something: Coins, a vault raid, an attack on another player, an RV visit to a friend, a card, an ingredient, or a mystery event.

3. 3

   Bank the coins: They accumulate toward your next town upgrade.

4. 4

   Work the social layer: Attack for coins, raid vaults, visit friends by RV, send gifts, and trade cards in your team or union.

5. 5

   Upgrade the town: Which raises your town level and improves what board events pay.

The game is predominantly chance-driven. Where you land is random, and vault payouts are random. Your actual agency sits in three places: which buildings you upgrade first, when you attack someone (ideally while their coin stash is fat), and how you time card trades and event participation.

Worth knowing before you invest weeks in this game, because it is the single most consistent complaint in its reviews.

Early progression is fast and generous. That is deliberate onboarding. Somewhere after the first 20 to 30 town levels, the cost curve turns sharply: town upgrades that cost around 544,000 coins at level 1 run to roughly 279 million by level 50, and past a billion at level 75 and beyond.

Board rewards do not scale at anything like that rate. So the same hour of rolling buys a steadily smaller fraction of your next upgrade, and players describe rewards becoming fewer while costs climb.

That gap is where the monetisation lives. It is not hidden or unusual for the genre, but it does mean the game you play at level 60 is a substantially grindier one than the game that hooked you at level 10.

• Dice: The energy currency. Regenerates at about 5 an hour, spent one per roll.
• Coins: Earned from board tiles, raids and card sets, spent entirely on town upgrades.
• Gems: The premium currency, bought with real money and converted into Dice and offers.
• Cards: Collected into sets. Completing a set pays a large coin bonus, and rare cards are confirmed by the developer to have lower drop rates.
• Ingredients: Collected for feast events, which pay treasures.

The character system

This is Piggy GO's genuine point of difference from Coin Master and Dice Dreams. You unlock and upgrade characters that apply percentage boosts to what you earn from raids, attacks and RV visits.

Because those boosts are multiplicative on your social earnings rather than on your rolls, investing in characters pays off most for players who actually use the attack and raid layer rather than just rolling quietly.

No, and this deserves a direct answer because a great deal of what is published about this game says otherwise, including, until this update, our own page.

Piggy GO has no code entry field. There is no Redeem Code screen in the game, and no working coupon portal on the web. What Forever9 distributes are clickable dice links, which open the app and credit the reward directly. Those are real and they work, and they are not codes.

We checked the coupon portal our earlier copy pointed readers to. Every path on it returns a 404, and our own records show this game has never once produced a redeemable code, only links. So we have removed that claim and the promo codes page that sat behind it.

What the links actually pay

Forever9 does not state the amount in the post or say how long links last. They must be opened on the device where the game is installed.

If a site is offering you Piggy GO gift codes to type in, it is describing a feature the game does not have.

Gem packs run from $0.99 to $9.99, under names like Pocket of Gems and Sack of Gems, alongside rotating special offers at similar prices. Forever9 does not publish how many gems each pack contains, and the amounts move with promotions.

There is also a weekly VIP subscription at $5.99 after a three-day free trial, which pays enhanced event rewards, a rainbow dice skin, and faster dice recovery. There is no battle pass.

Chests function as loot boxes with randomised contents, and no drop rates are published for them. The developer has confirmed only that rare cards carry lower probabilities, without giving numbers.

The game also carries advertising, and some reviews report rewarded-ad glitches where the reward fails to credit.

Active but maturing. The studio ships updates regularly, though recent ones are described as experience optimisation rather than new content, which usually signals a focus on retention over expansion.

The game passed 2.5 million iOS downloads and held a top-30 US Casual ranking at points, though it had slipped out of that bracket by mid-2026. Ratings remain excellent at 4.7 on Google Play.

The recurring complaints are consistent: the difficulty wall past the early levels, perceived manipulation of drop rates, event stability problems, and uneven reward distribution in team events. The perceived-rigging claims are player reports rather than tested findings, and no odds are published either way, so the honest position is that nobody outside the studio knows.

This is a crowded genre and we cover most of it, so the comparisons are unusually direct.

• Coin Master: The genre's original and still the biggest, with the most generous public link supply.
• Dice Dreams: The closest direct competitor on mechanics, without the character system.
• Island King: Forever9's own stablemate, sharing much of the design and a similar link economy.
• Lord of the Board: Board play with a stronger head-to-head focus.
• Match Masters: A different puzzle core, but the same daily-links-and-teams rhythm.
• Klondike: A builder-first game with no raiding at all, if the town upgrading is the part you actually enjoy.

If you want the most free links and the largest community, Coin Master remains the default. Piggy GO earns its place on depth, particularly the character boosts, and Island King is worth a look if you like this studio's design and want a second daily routine that works the same way.
