Pits (card game) Pits (card game) Pits is a five player card game, a cross between whist and rummy, with the objective of playing all your cards first. It is played with a 54 card pack (4 suits and 2 jokers). Threes are low, Aces high, Twos even higher and Jokers highest. Once all the cards are dealt (the dealer getting 10, the others 11), the dealer plays a meld; one of a singleton, "n" of a kind, a run of 3 or more singletons or a run of three or more "n" of a kinds. For example a run of 4 pairs
Wyatt Earp (card game) cards representing the outlaws, "or" who play cards which build on the melds of others. Cards almost always have reward amounts associated with them; playing a card adds to the reward for the outlaw associated with the play. As in rummy or gin rummy, a meld is three or more matching cards. In "Wyatt Earp", card matches are not determined by suits; instead, cards are matched based on a color marking associated with each of the seven outlaws. A round starts with each player being dealt ten cards, with one of the remaining cards used to establish the discard pile
