A classic Parker trading card game, based on the American Corn exchange, the wheat pit. Trade in 6 commodities.

Players are dealt cards and then the pit is open. From that moment, any player can trade 1 to 4 cards with other players as quickly and as often as possible. The first player to obtain 9 cards of 1 commodity or 8 cards of 1 commodity plus the bull card, makes a corner and wins the round.

Points are scored according to your hand with the bull card wild. For the losing players, a bull or bear card reduces their score accordingly.
The more rapid the trading, the greater the babble and the more laughter and excitement. Quote from the rules; "the rules for this new presentation of Pit are slightly different from previous editions - note them carefully".
