"map_content": "Versions of the game starting in the 1970s contained a bell used to start trading. The first player to hold all nine cards of a commodity would ring the bell.\r\nThe number of commodities included in each round is equal to the number of players. Each player is dealt nine cards; two players get ten if the Bear and the Bull are included in play.\r\nPit has no turns and everyone plays at once. Players trade commodities among one another by each blindly exchanging one to four cards of the same commodity. The trading process involves calling out the number of cards one wishes to trade until another player holds out an equal number of commodity cards. The two parties then exchange the cards face down.\r\nWinning\r\n\r\nAs soon as a player has nine cards of the same commodity in hand, they must reveal their entire hand (e.g., by throwing the cards onto the middle, or the corner board if available) and call out \"Corner on (the name of the commodity they are holding)!\", ending the round. That player then earns points equal to the number value of the commodity they were holding. In deluxe editions of the game, the player with a full set of nine has to ring the bell before revealing their hand.\r\nThe first player to reach an agreed-upon point total wins the game.\r\nThe Bear and the Bull\r\n\r\nThe Bear card serves as a hazard for all players, as its holder may not declare a Corner even while holding all cards of the same commodity.\r\nThe Bull card is considered wild and can be used to complete any set. When it is in play, a player can win a round in any of the following ways:\r\nHolding all nine cards of the same commodity, as described above, with or without a tenth card in hand\r\nHolding eight cards of one commodity and the Bull (\"Bull Corner\")\r\nHolding all nine cards of the same commodity and the Bull (\"Double Bull Corner\"), which awards double value\r\nAt the end of a round, the Bear and the Bull each impose a 20-point penalty on any non-winning player holding them. It is possible for a player's score to go below zero. The Bull and Bear may be traded individually or with any number of cards of one commodity. However, the four-card limit for a single trade still applies.",
