Description: Overview of six Pitch-style games: All Fours, All Fives, Smear, Nine Card Don, Pedro/Cinch/63/83, and Setback/Pitch.
seem to have originated in England. All Fours itself was recorded in Charles Cotton's "Compleat Gamester of 1674 as being played in Kent. The name derives from the fact that there are four points available: for being dealt the highest trump in play, for being dealt the lowest trump in play, for winning the jack of trumps in one's tricks, and for the 'game', which is the majority of card points (ace = 4, king = 3, queen = 2, jack = 1, ten = 10). The 'jack' point in this game actually gave rise to the name jack for the lowest court card of each suit - previously they were known as knaves.
