Pitch Card Game Night at New City Brewery

IMPORTANT VENUE CHANGE! Due to a conflicting event at Abandoned Building Brewery, we will move our game this week to the outdoor picnic tables at New City Brewery, in the same mill complex. They have a Latin Night that starts at 8:00 PM, but that will be indoors. We just need it not to rain. I propose that we move our venue to Treehouse Brewing Company in South Deerfield for August 21st, where they have plenty of long tables both indoors and outdoors. If you have not been there, Treehouse is the best craft brewery in the United States!

Note: If we have 8 or fewer players, we will play as partners on one table; however, if we get 10 or more players, we will play as partners at TWO TABLES, with teams of either 4, 6 or 8 players at each table. We generally play 3 games, where the teams switch if we are playing at two tables, although there have been nights where we have been able to fit in 4 or even 5 games.

You do not need to be an expert to play, since your partners will support you if you are still learning, but you should have played before and be at least familiar with the basic rules of the game. Winning strategy seems to come with greater experience. The play can typically get pretty competitive and somewhat boisterous, but you do NOT need to be a highly experienced player to participate. If you do not know how to play, you are welcome to sit in and watch us, ask questions, and learn.

For our games, we will play the partners version, with a winning score of 15. The game can also be played “cutthroat”, where single players compete against any number of opponents.

New City Brewery in Easthampton is open on Thursdays until midnight, and they serve food. An alternative, if you want to get food before playing, is Daily Operation, a bit further down the parking lot, with some great food, including several vegan options, that you can order online earlier in the day for pickup prior to playing.
