Pit is a fast-paced card game for three to eight players, designed to simulate open outcry bidding for commodities.

[1] As early as 1904, the attributed clairvoyant Edgar Cayce claimed he had developed the game and sent it to Parker Brothers.

As soon as a player has nine cards of the same commodity in hand, they must reveal their entire hand (e.g., by throwing the cards onto the middle, or the corner board if available) and call out "Corner on (the name of the commodity they are holding)!

That player then earns points equal to the number value of the commodity they were holding.

In deluxe editions of the game, the player with a full set of nine has to ring the bell before revealing their hand.
