The original game was invented by Harry E. Gavitt and published in 1903
by Gavitt Publishing and Printing. In that game players deal and trade
cards to corner the railway stock market. Be the first to get all the
cards of one railway line, call out Topeka
and you'll win the hand!
But Pit, the more famous version, adapted by Edgar Cayce, was first
published by Parker Brothers in 1904 and in many editions since. In
this loud, real-time trading game, players are given the task of
cornering the market in one type of commodity. There are as many suits
as there are players, and all the cards are dealt out at the start of
each round. When the trading begins, players offer sets of cards to
each other in the hopes of completing a set for themselves. If you're
successful, you score points. If you're not successful, then you could
lose points for having a particularly bad card in your possession at
the end of the trading.
