I can remember playing Pit. If we’re talking about the same card game, there were cards that represented different staple commodities and the idea was to corner the market in a commodity by holding all the cards for it. The Bear card was to be avoided at all costs, while the Bull card was well worth hanging onto. It was a game usually only played on Christmas or Boxing Days, after enough seasonal lubricant had been consumed to actually make it seem like a good idea, especially if the TV schedules weren’t delivering sufficient snoozing material!An elderly maiden aunt always used to get those every year, just before she walloped us at Pit if anyone can remember that, and never returned them. I think we found a small trove when clearing her flat after the funeral.
