I thought some of you traders might be interested in this. I have played it before and it is very fun and gets funner the more people you have playing it. It is a trading game called Pit. The object is to collect all of one type of commodity by trading for it

Interestingly, I just discoverd the game was invented by Edgar Cayce, who I became farmiliar with on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries featuring him. He was said to have come up with many complex cures to physical ailments while sleeping or under hypnosis. Many people claim to have been cured by Cayce's readings.
