Funny, a bunch of us were just talking about this. I grew up playing Pit. And recently we rediscovered the game.
It's easy and fun and perfect for when kids want to play, too.
The original card game commands a hefty price - I've seen the original card sets going for 100-200$. The new sets are under $15.
That simulates being in a trading pit; is that correct?
Ever played "phase 10"?
