Setback Pitch
Read full descriptionHide full description
Setback (also known as Pitch or High-Low-Jack) is the classic American trick-taking card game — now on your iPhone. Play with four players in two partnerships or solo play against the bots, where every hand is a battle of bidding, bluffing, and trump card mastery. Estimate how many points you can win, pitch your trump suit, and outmaneuver your opponents, or risk getting set back. What makes it fun: - Trump anytime — play a trump card even when you can follow suit - High-stakes bidding — bid too low and allow your opponents to take the bid, bid too high and get set back - Four scoring points per hand: High, Low, Jack, and Game - Fast rounds that reward both strategy and instinct How to play: Each round opens with a single bid. The highest bidder pitches the first card, setting trump for the entire hand. Capture the Ace (High), the lowest trump (Low), the Jack of trumps, and the most game-value cards (Game) to score points. First team to reach 11 wins. Free to try — 14 days on us. After your trial, unlock unlimited play for a one-time $1.99 — no subscriptions, ever.
