How to play PITCH OFF

Pitch a business. Win the table's investment. First to 15 points wins.

Set up

4–8 players. Shuffle the deck. Place it face down. Last to buy something goes first.

Your turn

1. 1

   Draw

   Take the top card. Read the problem out loud. Your right-hand neighbor flips the timer.

2. 2

   Pitch

   Pitch a business that solves it before time runs out.

3. 3

   Invest

   The table counts “3, 2, 1… INVEST!” Everyone else votes at once: thumb up invests, thumb down passes.

4. 4

   Score

   More thumbs up than down? Keep the card. If not, discard it. Play passes left.

What it is. Who pays. How much.

How to win

No arguments

• No price? Thumbs down.
• Tie vote? No deal.
• Time's up? Pitch over. Mid-sentence too.
• Top card only, whatever its level. No swaps. No skips.
• Done early? Say “Done.” The count starts.
