Pitch is one of America's classic trick-taking card games, and this book takes you from a complete beginner to a confident player at any table. Whether you're learning for family game night, a regular card group, or just curious about a game your grandparents used to play, this guide breaks down every rule, every scoring point, and every strategic decision in plain, straightforward language.
What you'll learn:
- The complete rules of Auction Pitch, from the deal through scoring
- How to bid with confidence using a simple hand-counting method
- How to read the bidding around the table before you ever pick up a card
- When to shoot the moon, and when to hold back
- Trump leads, defensive play, and how to protect your Jack
- Partnership signals for four-handed play
- Common variants you'll run into, including Smear, Joker Pitch, and Cutthroat Pitch
- House rules and table etiquette so you're never caught off guard at a new table
Each chapter builds on the last, with clear examples and practice hands so you can test what you've learned before moving on. By the end, you won't just know the rules, you'll know how to think like a Pitch player.
