Description

Pitch Six is a unique and engaging card game that's all about strategy and skill. With easy-to-learn rules, this game is perfect for a group of 3 to 6 players looking for a fun and challenging experience. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, and each player is dealt six cards to start. What makes Pitch Six stand out is its twist on traditional trick-taking games - players can bid on how many points they think they can take, and the winning bidder gets to name trump. This adds a whole new level of strategy to the game, as players need to carefully consider their bids and plan their moves accordingly. The game is won by the first player to score 12 points, which can be earned by taking the highest or lowest trump card, the jack or 6 of trump, the last trick, or by collecting the most game points. One of the most interesting aspects of Pitch Six is that players can trump at any time, even if they have a card of the suit that's been led. This means that players need to stay on their toes and think carefully about when to play their trump cards. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, Pitch Six is the perfect game for a quick and exciting gaming session with friends. First published in 2003, this game has been entertaining players for years, and its unique blend of strategy and skill is sure to keep you coming back for more.
