Hasbro Gaming Pit Game for Kids

Pit is an open-outcry commodity trading game that was first introduced in 1903. The game features a deck of 63 cards, with 9 cards representing each of 7 different commodities, each with a distinct value ranging from 40 for Flax to 100 for Wheat.

The objective of the game is to be the first player to collect all 9 cards of a single commodity, thereby declaring a "Corner" on that commodity. Players engage in a frenzied exchange of cards, shouting out the number of cards they wish to swap (e.g., "One! One! One!" or "Three! Three! Three!") without revealing their identities.

The winner of a hand is the player who is the first to collect all 9 cards of a single commodity, and they are awarded points equal to the value of that commodity. The overall winner of the game is the first player to reach a total of 500 points.

This fast-paced, card-swapping game offers an engaging and exciting experience for players. The need to shout and swap cards quickly, while racing to collect a full set of a single commodity, creates a thrilling and high-energy atmosphere. The winner's bell is rung with pride as they emerge victorious, having outmaneuvered their opponents and secured their position as the champion of the Pit.
