Setback: High Pitch Card Game

Setback. The classic trick-taking game, beautifully reimagined for iPhone.

Also known as Pitch or High-Low-Jack, Setback is a partnership card game where every trick matters and every bid is a gamble. Team up with a computer partner against two AI opponents, or pass the device around the table for a four-player night in. Crisp cards, a clean felt table, and the tension of a well-timed trump card, all in the palm of your hand.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY
