I owned Pit as a child. We ran into trouble playing the game because we were too good at determining when someone was one card away from cornering. We wouldn't trade with him, and ultimately, the game would bog down, with no one able to clinch a round. But that red bell survived the deck of cards itself, popping up in unrelated games we modified (sometimes solely to get the bell a workout) until we were in high school.

[@yvonetubla7682]

fake, do you have any evidence?

[@BudewFan_]

@@yvonetubla7682that life is more whimsical and reality is slightly funnier if I choose to believe sir (or madam) carlwilkerson9722 and their story is proof enough

[@akittycat2448]

I feel like the search for “Like the Wind” is a modern day One Piece

[@kamsandwich]

I know! Learning about the search and the things they've uncovered was so exciting!

[@dekufiremage7808]

That wording implies One Piece was a historical event

[@LendriMujina]

Honestly one of my favorite songs of all time. Half the reason I hope it gets found is because I want to hear if the band's done anything else.

[@calemr]

​@@dekufiremage7808It sorta was. Gol D Roger's last words are based on the legend of Captain William Kidd, who was said to have buried most of his fortune Somewhere, and some people have spent a lot of time trying to find it.

[@mpf1947]

You can still buy a new copy with a bell (sold as "Deluxe Pit"), but it's a standard chrome bell rather than painted red to match the box.

[@lordflarus]

“One bull and one bear card” *flashbacks to Lonesome Road from New Vegas*

[@halfdecentstrange]

THE BEAR AND THE BULL

[@Hvision0000]

and the kings, baby! (hoo hoo hah)

[@naranciagaming]

BEAR BULL BEAR BULL DIVIDE SILOS COURIERS BEAR BULL MACHINE

[@drapermovies]

A few years ago I had to play test some games local school kids had made. One of them was this fast paced traded game where you had to swap cards until you got a set. Skip forward to today, and I learnt their game is literally just PIT but without the bell. I got bamboozled by 10 year olds, thinking they'd come up with a unique and exciting concept .

[@kamsandwich]

Ooo they hit ya with the swtcheroo

[@DrawerSkull]

2:39 my friends have subjected me to this game on multiple occasions, this is extremely accurate

[@pillarnexustheancientgladiator]

The Pit Bell remains as one of my favorite things in any board game ever. *ding*

[@apollofell3925]

*ding* "Corner on wheat! 😎" "NO!!" God, this is the exact reason I subscribed. 🙏

[@uselessDM]

Oh man, stumbling upon TMS on here of all places.

[@beyondobscure]

did not expect that

[@scrumblycat]

I love this game so much, I grew up with it and it's one of my favorites. One time my sister got so mad at the bear card, she bent it in half, permanently making it incredible obvious if you had it

[@lamidene8139]

Your dramatization exactly mimiced my families game nights down to the NO! When you just needed one more goddamn wheat but uncle tim cornered right when you got traded the bear.

[@conspiracy_risk7526]

PIT is well-liked in my family, and it is absolute *chaos* to play in real life, in the best way possible! The silent mode totally changes the game, makes trading so much more stressful, but victory feels so good!

[@kamsandwich]

I can't imagine how tense a game of silent Pit could be in real time

[@scottscotterson3441]

This is by far your best video yet! I really enjoy the dramatizations you include in certain videos. Your sense of comedic timing is nearly perfected already! It's been incredible to watch your writing and editing improve so quickly!

[@kamsandwich]

Thank you! This one definitely took quite a bit more work to put together.

[@mykal4779]

wow i've never seen a video be sponsored by a lost media search group, that was interesting

[@brodieainsworth4901]

I have a copy of Pit and I love it whenever I can convince people to play it because with a group of at least 4-6 people it’s a really fun game.

[@hgman3920]

My grandparent's loved playing Pit so I have very fond memories of playing with them in the 70s

[@newsuperstevebros]

Underrated creator. Awesome content as always

[@kamsandwich]

Thanks a bunch!

[@kingdomofgenevamapping]

0:30 oh hey it’s the world trade center

[@gayflower900]

i had that exact orange bell as a kid, but i'd never heard of this game before watching this video. we had a big cabinet of board games which i looked through multiple times, but i never found the box or the cards or anything. i was simply blessed by some past relative with the Mystery Bell(TM)

[@D3usExMachina]

God I played the Simpsons version of this so much in middle school. We used to play a version where we would take one card out of the deck so one player couldn't get the full none. Full chaos

[@TheyDarthElmo]

Hay I've finally played one of the games you covered. Pit is a great time. It's chaos at its best.

[@PeytonManning187]

This video is leaving me in stitches. Masterful work. Bravo, sir! “Corner on wheat! NO!!!”

[@StephenParlow]

Having played Pit, is a perfect small party game

[@arthorization]

There is just something amazing about how the hands are drawn.

[@dekucake4395]

So, I'm not German, nor am I really that old, but I actually have some potential info about the song at the end. Based on the techno-rock genre of the song, and the voice of the singer, I am almost certain the song is at least from a band called "Statues in Motion". If you listen to any of their songs on KZbin, you can absolutely tell it's the same band. Same instrumental style, same singer/same vocals, etc. I don't have any info 100% confirming it's them, but it seems like a very, very good place to start.

[@PhoenixRiseinFlame]

If you want an even crazier variant, try Pit with spoons.

[@kamsandwich]

Like actual, real world spoons?

[@imstupid880]

The absolute power posing on those traders you drew 🗿

[@kamsandwich]

Thank you! The main poses are traced from Yu-gi-oh, I just had to edit them to fit the Pit theming

[@maxiawesomekid899]

Man what is it with lostwave songs and having names that are metaphors for their state or are ironic to their state like everyone knows that and this one, I’ve got a feeling that whoever find like the wind will have a good time

[@zacharycross3229]

Favorite new channel discovery as of recent

[@BlueSpiceSpace]

This sounds absolutely hilarious

[@PickleJello]

Once, some friends and I came up with the idea to combine Pit and Catan. It was certainly a game.

[@WoolyCow]

three things: 1. ekt fans when u said 'most mysterious song on the internet' 2. how do u get a bull corner with 10 cards if your always trading like cards 3 for cards 3? 3. epic vid as usual :D

[@kamsandwich]

When you start a round with Bull and Bear cards, two people will start with 10 cards since they're added to the standard deal. If you get the bull I guess you can go for it then

[@adamnielson42]

It sure as hell aint ekt anymore.

[@dezzyschannel3078]

I still own the 1973 version of Pit. I never thought I would see anyone talk about it on YT.

[@bonezoner9999]

Did not disappoint for the birthday video :))

[@kamsandwich]

Glad to hear it, hope it was a good one!

[@Dude-vq3oe]

Yeah I’ve played Pit before! It can get pretty hectic!

[@zhonghuaxiansheng]

Finally, I can become a bourgeoise stock broker, make zillions of dollars, make a stupid board game, get Kam to make a video on it, and then mysteriously up the price by ten thousand percent immediately after I get the notification.

[@kamsandwich]

I definitely wasn't in on the plan for a cut of the proceed

[@Davion197]

This was great!

[@stevenglowacki8576]

I watched this video solely to learn how to play the game. My parents had the same version of the game that you showed plenty of times from the 70s, but the instructions were lost, and it was never played at any point I would have understood what was going on, and perhaps never even when I was alive since I don't recall anyone playing it and me being confused as to what was going on either. All I had to go on was that there were a bunch of cards as described and the description on the box. By the time the internet came around, I completely forgot about the game, as it probably was thrown out on our move in the early 90s.

[@ElTovarish]

When you said "and this section is only for Germans" and put 'like the wind' as the bgm, I thought "Wow, nice reference, I doubt a lot of people will get it...", and then the whole segment is about the song lmao

[@roquejo6194]

loved the video!

[@jacksonmnl7901]

LIKE THE WIND MENTIONED!!!!!!!!!!!

[@halfdecentstrange]

THE BEAR AND THE BULL

[@notaschoolemail210]

Used to play this every thanksgiving growing up, I always loved it but the adults hated it

[@ItzJustHistory1916]

I’m pretty sure that’s the same version of the pit game (with the orange bell) that I’ve played at my grandparents’ house

[@SretroOfTheNortheast]

Let’s go child labor!

[@nicholasshaler7442]

A related game regarding its purpose is The Rat Race by RichDad PoorDad. There is also a The Rat Race for Kids. I grew up playing both.

[@madcat789]

I didnt know the Stock Exchange could be so fun. Also, wh is your avatar segmented?

[@gh0rochi363]

This game seems fun

[@lmeans]

Yo I love that song I wish I knew the band. Or the name.

[@adamnielson42]

I played this game at a party as a kid, i had to go to the bathroom, they dealt without me, and I came back to see a hand with 8/9 cards of a type. Turns out they all conspired together and gave me that hand on purpose, and then ensured I'd never get that last card.

[@buckbumble1872]

2:10 WAS THAT A FRAME OF MICHAEL BAY FROM THE ERB; STEVEN SPEILBERG VS ALFRED HITCHCOCK VIDEO?! 🐨

[@kamsandwich]

Yes it is! One of the greatest grins of all time

[@hiltenhola_world]

Gooood

[@MrTandtrollet]

Sounds like actual fun, then you realise that f there are 7 suits and 7 players, if you just get a hand of all different cards you can just do nothing and be sure no one else can win.

[@Hibuy-]

I played pit it's fun

[@tryingmybest206]

Isn't this just Billionaire?

[@swampertdeck]

02:19: The scoresheet where the scores add up to 500 has a 80 entry. There is no commodity worth 80 in the game. Only 75 and 85. Someone cheated on family night?

[@maycontainnuts3127]

i know who wrote the most mysterious song in the world but im not german so im ignoring that entire section of the video

[@whywouldyouneedme]

Mr funny guy over here

[@kingofnova673]

I can ask around one sec.

[@uristmcary]

You never played? Yes the victory is pretty good, you are the winner. However we played silently, it seemed like nonsense to yell.

[@TheREAL_WatermelonCat]

My grandfather is actually a german immigrant, ill ask him

[@kamsandwich]

I he knows that would actually be incredible

[@benshiotsu8553]

The🏳‍🌈bear card is accurate

[@MrbaldRevell]

Ive never liked robert downy jr more

[@eightcoins4401]

Why is every lost media song hunt just crappy generic new wave
