Winning Moves Deluxe Pit Card Game

Description

Pit is an open-outcry commodity trading game. The first edition in 1903 had a deck of 63 cards, 9 each of 7 commodities, each with a value (ranging from 40 for Flax to 100 for Wheat). Players offer trades by crying out the number of cards they want to swap (One! One! One!, or Three! Three! Three!) but not their identity. The winner of the hand is the first to collect all of one commodity, declaring Corner on Wheat! or whatever commodity has been collected. The winner of the hand scores points equal to the value of the commodity, and the winner of the game is the first to 500 points.

Deluxe version comes with a bell.

Pit is the “Corner the Market” card game! Shout your deal and trade your cards to “corner” the market. Be the first to get all the cards of one commodity, hit the “bell” and you’ll win the hand. You’ll feel like a trader in the “pits” of the exchange! Beware of the Bear and take your chances with the Bull. Pit is great frenzied fun! This updated version includes eight all-new suits and artwork.
