About
Kitchen Table Setback is the card game your family grew up playing, also known as Pitch or High Low Jack. Play against the computer, take turns on your own iPhones from anywhere, or pass one phone around the table.
HIGH, LOW, JACK, GAME
Bid 2, 3, 4 or Smudge. Lead your best suit to name trump, then take the points: High, Low, the Jack of trump, and Game. Make your bid or get set back. First to 21 wins.
PLAY THE COMPUTER
Choose Easy, Normal or Hard. Computer players bid, follow suit, protect their points and feed their partner. Play as partners with a computer teammate, or every player for themselves.
PLAY TOGETHER FROM ANYWHERE
Start a game, invite family and friends through Game Center, and take your turn whenever you're ready. You get a notice when it's your turn. Computer players can fill any empty seats, and if someone has to leave, the computer takes their seat so the game goes on.
OR PASS ONE PHONE AROUND
Pass and play needs no sign-in. Before each person's turn the cards are covered, so nobody peeks.
YOUR HOUSE RULES

• Online games stay in step: an open game now checks for everyone's moves every few seconds and as soon as you come back to the app, so it never sits waiting on a turn that's already been played.
