Setback. The classic trick-taking game, beautifully reimagined for iPhone.
Also known as Pitch or High-Low-Jack, Setback is a partnership card game where every trick matters and every bid is a gamble. Team up with a computer partner against two AI opponents, or pass the device around the table for a four-player night in. Crisp cards, a clean felt table, and the tension of a well-timed trump card, all in the palm of your hand.
TWO WAYS TO PLAY
- Shuford Setback — wild Jokers, a kitty draw, and up to seven points a hand
- Traditional Pitch — the classic 52-card game scored on High, Low, Jack, and Game
FEATURES
- Smart AI opponents across three difficulty levels that bid, signal, and play like real partners
- Pass-and-play for a true four-player game, with a privacy handoff screen between turns
- Hand history and last-trick review, so you can second-guess that play all you want
- Coach marks and an in-game tutorial — great for learning, easy to turn off once you're a pro
- Pick up right where you left off — games save automatically
- Built for every iPhone in portrait and landscape, from SE to Pro Max
- No data collection. No tracking. Free to download and play.
