sorcyressOne of the funnest games ever, if you play by our house rules, that is.
We don't use the bull or the bear, and we don't use the bell, and we don't worry about the price of each commodity.
Heck, here's the instructions.
Pit-our way!
Materials:
~A pit deck with the amout of commodity sets equal to the amount of people playing.
~Spoons, the amount of which should be two less then the amount of players
~One Big spoon
~A loaded water pistol/spray bottle
Doesn't this look fun already ;-)
Instructions:
1) Dealer shuffles the cards and randomly deals them out, nine to a player. Meanwhile, all the other players arrange the spoons in the center of the table, or as close as they can get, with the big spoon on top.
2) At the dealers signal, each player frantically begins trying to get nine of the same commodity by trading cards with other players.
2a) To trade cards, you take an amount of MATCHING commoditys (like two grains, or three oats) and you trade it with someone who has the same amount by waving the cards around (but not so people can se them) and giving them to another player, who, in turn, gives you their cards.
3) Play continues with everyone swapping cards, until someone has nine of a kind in their hand. It doesn't matter the value of the cards (100, 90, etc) what matters is that they have all nine.
4) That player then (either discreetly or vividly) grabs the big spoon.
5) The second any other player notices the big spoon is gone, they must grab a little spoon as fast as they can. (again, either discreetly or vividly)
5a) Note that there are one less spoons then people. The poor person who doesn't get a spoon has lost. The person who has a big spoon has won.
6) The winner then squirts the loser unmercissly with the water pistol.
7) The person to the dealers left gets the cards to shuffle and deal, and the winner gets to rearrange the spoons in whatever formation they want, provided that they are fairly close to the middle of the table.
8) Repeat steps 1-7 until you grow sick of it.
We played 11 rounds this afternoon. We didn't get a water gun though, because it's cold outside.
It was really great, we had NO sutble spoon grabs. And I managed to win the last round :) plus, I managed to grab a spoon EVERY SINGLE ROUND even if it meant grabing two and acidentally flinging them both at Jeremy, (who I had an allience with (grins)) across the table.
It was a Good Day.
