Pit is as much fun as you can have with your clothes on in a group of 3-8 people, and it has been since 1904, when the box proclaimed that it was "The greatest of all party games." They were right.
Pit is a card game, with different suits representing different commodities: wheat, oats, barley, coffee, oranges, corn, sugar and soybeans, in most versions, each with a different point value. Originally flax was represented and some modern versions have oil and cattle. You have to corner the market by getting all nine cards of a single commodity. Quickly. While yelling. Sound simple? Basically, it is.
