Deluxe Pit

Pros: Easy to learn, easy to play, easy to enjoy, it's just easy! ;-)
Cons: It's too easy?

This review is actually for the basic Pit game, not Deluxe. Deluxe is for the hardcore players. It comes with a real bell. ;-p The rest of us'll have to make do with a cardboard coaster.

I played this game for the first time a few...

Pros: Party game, easy to learn, bell is heavy duty.
Cons: A very noisy game, AND ring bell--no service

Want to get everyone in a room talking to everyone else? Bring out the game of Pit. They will soon be shouting at each other. But in a good way (mostly).

Pit is a classic card game that was out of print for a while, but now Winning Moves has...

Pros: All of it
Cons: None of it

My uncle had been talking about this game forever. So when I saw it in the store I had to buy it to see what was so great about it. The first time we played it was when all my family was here for Christmas. And boy did I ever see what was so great about...

Pros: fun for the whole family, more for a loud one
Cons: none

My family was talking about this game and how fun it was when they used to play it. So I was in the store going Christmas shopping and I found it. On new years eve all of my family was over and we played this for a good hour. You have to stream and make...

Pros: Lots of people can play at the same time
Cons: Very loud and fast moving, too loud for some

Pit is a great group game for ages 8 and up. You need to have more than 5 people to really make it more challenging.
You are dealt a hand of cards of a variety of grains (barley, wheat, rye, etc.) Once the "market is open" (everyone is...

Pros: great fun
Cons: can get a bit loud

Judging by the picture on the box of our "Pit" it's from the early seventies. My family and all our friends thoroughly enjoy this game. It is good (loud) and competitive fun. The rules are extremely easy to comprehend and it has the tendency...

Pros: downright exciting
Cons: My vocal chords aren't used to this

I'm more of a
physical-video-game-blow-things-up-or-why-don't-we-just-wrestle kind of
guy. So when a friend of mine said she got a new card game for
Christmas, needless to say apathy was written all over my face. She
dealt out a...

Pros: Great game for children 4 and older
Cons: none

This game is intended to encourage children to learn more about nature as they travel through Guest's garden. Gardening is all play and no work with this BOARD GAME.

The object of the game is to be the first player to travel the length of...

Pros: Easy to learn, excellent party game. Engaging game play. Wide age range.
Cons: Sometimes hard to find, even at nationwide retailers.

You and your fellow traders inspect the bill of goods you've each just acquired. Should you corner the market on wheat, the most valuable commodity, or shoot for barley on this round and make it up later?

The bell rings and the room erupts in...

Pros: Easy, fast and fun
Cons: Not all that deep

Pit is a rarity: a game that can be enjoyed equally by young children and grown adults. It's noisy, frantic and just plain fun. There's not much depth, although clever players can find a few tricks to give themselves the upper hand. Winning Moves also...

Pros: easy to learn, tons of fun
Cons: loud, need lots of people for the best game

This deluxe version of the Parker Brothers classic is a guaranteed ice breaker. Simple to learn and a riot to play are the best descriptions I can give to this game. The most fun I remember ever having with my family growing up was playing a game of...
