Pitch (Card Game)

Deal six cards to each player, three at a time.

Starting with the dealer's left, each player bids a number from one to four, or passes, based on how many points they think they can win.

The highest bidder leads the first card, and that suit becomes the trump suit for the hand.

Players score points for winning the highest trump, lowest trump, the jack of trumps if in play, and the most total card value in tricks won.

If the highest bidder's team fails to score at least as many points as their bid, their score is reduced by the bid amount instead of gaining points; the first team to reach the target score, often eleven, wins.
