Card Games

[Coach]

Anyone here play 10 point pitch? 13 point pitch? What are your favorate card games to play, either by yourself or with others?

I enjoy playing 10 or 13 point pitch.

Tonight is the first I'd ever heard of a game called pitch.

It's actually pretty fun.

Rules for 13 point pitch. http://www.ehow.com/how_2065965_play-13point-pitch.html

10 point pitch is exactly (The way I play it) as the 13 point pitch, the only difference is the off-3 doesn't count as 3 points in a 10 point game.

A - 1 point
K - 0
Q - 0
J - 1 point
Off J - 1 point
Hi Joker - 1 point
Lo Joker - 1 point
10 - 1 point
9 - 0
8 - 0
7 - 0
6 - 0
5 - 0
4 - 0
3 - 3 points
(In 13 point pitch, Off 3 - 3 points)
2 - 1 point, and whoever has the two, they keep that card.

My family still has huge games of Nerts at just about every family reunion. It gets pretty crazy. Played many variations of pitch. I prefer 13 point. Used to play a lot of 4 point back in college. Love playing spades too.

I play 4 point with my girlfriend's family. I tried 10 point once... kept forgetting about the stupid 5... I was only worried about Johnny... Not a good time to play pitch for money.

On the 13 point, do you guys play a version where 3 of your total 9 cards that you are dealt, laying on the table, facing up where everybody can see it?
