Before there were kids' online investing games and junior day trading, there was Pit. First released in 1904, this classic card game has been teaching kids about commodities trading for almost a century. Trade the casino-quality cards to "corner the market" on commodities like barley, corn, and soy, by collecting all the cards of one suit, taking care to avoid the Bear, and playing high-stakes with the Bull. Capitalism Pit-style is loud and boisterous--trades are offered blind, with potential buyers knowing only the number of cards up for trade. Play inevitably spirals into a frenzy of players yelling "Two, two, two, two!" or "Four, four, four!" to attract trades or screaming "Corner!" when a market is theirs. Pit can be played with three to eight players, but is most fun with a group of five or six. --Lisa Whipple Shout your deal and trade your cards to corner the market. Be the first to get all the cards of one commodity, slap the Corner! board 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. Contains: 74 cards and Corner! board. For 3 to 8 Players. Note: Does not include bell.
