How To Play The Card Game Pitch?

Deal all cards evenly to the players

Determine the trump suit for the round

Players bid on how many points they think they can win

The highest bidder names the trump suit

The player to the dealer’s left leads the first trick

Each player must follow suit if possible

If a player cannot follow suit, they may play any card

The highest card of the led suit wins the trick unless a trump card is played

A trump card beats any non-trump card

The highest trump card played wins the trick

The winner of each trick leads the next trick

Continue until all cards are played

Count points from the cards and any bid-related scoring rules used by your version

Compare the team or player score to the bid to determine success or failure
