![]() ![]() All the discarding and refilling is handled automatically in Trickster Pitch. After the other three hands are refilled, the pitcher gets all the remaining cards and discards back to six. (If all players pass, the hand is redealt.) Once trump is set, starting with the player on the pitcher’s left, the non-trump cards are discarded and the hands refilled to six from the undealt cards (if a player held more than 6 trump, the lowest-value trump cards are discarded as well). Following a single round of bidding, the player with the highest point bid (called the “pitcher”) chooses trump. One point is awarded to the player who is dealt the 2 of trump. Three points are awarded for taking the 3 of trump. One point is awarded for taking the Ace, Jack, off-Jack, high Joker, low Joker, and 10 of trump. Trump consists of all the cards of the called suit plus the off-Jack (Jack of the other suit the same color of trump), and the two Jokers for 16 trump cards. The two Jokers are ranked between the 10 and Jack with the red Joker ranked higher than the black Joker. ![]() Our 10-point variation is played with a 54-card deck, the standard 52 plus two Jokers-red and black (Trickster Pitch designates Jokers with a ★). Points are awarded for being dealt the lowest-rank trump in play, for taking the highest-rank trump in play and the Jack of trump (if in play), and a game point awarded for taking the most game-point points (see Scoring, below). Six cards are dealt to each player resulting in 24 out of 52 cards in play per hand. Our 4-point variation is played with a standard 52-card deck with Ace high. See the Variations and Options sections for a discussion of all the available versions. Described below are the two most popular played in automatch Play games: 4-point and 10-point. Trickster Pitch currently supports 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 9-, 10-, 11-, and 13-point versions. Unlike some other trick-taking games, the goal in Pitch is to capture cards representing at least the number of points you bid. The game is also known as Auction Pitch or Setback. Pitch is fast-paced, partnership, trick-taking game with a variety of popular rule options. ![]()
