Hi Laney! Thank you for your question.
The answer to this question is "True." To be specific, this question relates to George Orwell's allegorical novella, Animal Farm. This card-game scene occurs at the work's close. Mr. Pilkington (a farmer) and Napoleon (a pig) get into an argument because they have both tried to cheat at cards in the same way. This ending conveys a message about the corrupting effects of political power. Orwell suggests that, whether pig or farmer, all powerful people become deceitful and selfish.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any follow-up q's.
Kindly, -G
