I'm 74 Yrs. Old And Can Still Remember My Folks Talking About Playing The Setback Card Game In The 1950's And Early 1960's . We're In The Hills Of Appalachia Here In West Virginia. They'd Usually Get Together With My Mom's Brothers Down In The Hollers Of Jackson County And Play Setback Or Rummy Till Weee Hours Of The Morning. Us Kids Would Just Play And Have Old Fashioned Fun While Our Parents Played Cards All Night And Drank Coffee.

Weren't those old times great. We were doing the same stuff in ct. People were entertained not just by what we did. But we did things together. No monitors, maybe if young people today interacted in reality instead of virtual reality our world might be a little better and safer. It's my belief we wouldn't have some of the crazy things happening. If people were together and kids played outside. Anyway table games and card's are a great way to spend some time. 👍☮️

I'm from CT as well. I'm playing the game for the 1st time and they call it setback in our church group. 😀

I grew up in California, and I live in California now, and I've never heard of people playing Setback or Pitch here. I wonder why not! I lived in Connecticut for a few years, I learned the game, and people called it Setback.

NJ. Setback. One time I bid 4 and got it. It was an amazing feeling. Legendary.

Grew up in Western Massachusetts. Knew it by 3 names. Pitch, foremost, Setback, and Hi Lo Jack

Hey, I'm also from New England (CT) and I learned the game as Setback and never heard it called Pitch until I looked up a video for a refresher on how to play which is right now.

I remember playing setback here in New England in the 70s. Friends, family. Playing was a great time. No equipment or technology. Just music people and some socializing.good times. In those days we talked facing each other. I knew lots of people who played. Young and old. Most people now don't know what I'm talking about. I think how some cards could help fill a snow day. Good times. I think I will play this weekend. Maybe teach a couple people.☮️👍🙂✌️

Southwest PA. We play “Cinch” same exact rules except you get to draw. Ex. Hearts are called trump. Keep trump and draw. Makes jack less likely to sleep.
