Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Mitch, players use a standard 52-card deck ranked from King down to Two. The goal is to collect more cards of specific suits than opponents by arranging them in columns. Each column contains cards of one suit in descending order. Cards can only be added if they are lower than the current lowest card in that suit's column. The game ends shortly after the third Ace is drawn.
Who Is This Game For?
Mitch is suitable for 2 to 5 players looking for a quick, easy-to-learn card game. With a playtime of about 5 minutes, it fits well as a casual family game requiring no prior experience.
How It Works
Players manage their hands and try to build columns of cards by suit in descending order. You cannot have more than one column per suit, and only cards lower in rank than the lowest card in that suit's column can be added. The focus is on hand management and set collection to outscore opponents in specific suits.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Mitch Gunzler in 1983, Mitch uses a standard deck and combines hand management with set collection in a very short game. Though it has no awards, it stands out for its simplicity and fast gameplay within traditional card game families.
