Nerts Card Game

Nertz may be a distinctive, energetic game wherever every player makes an attempt to urge to eliminate a 13-card 'Nertz' pile. This game combines a handful of skills, as you'll be doing many things at once: stacking, sorting and taking part in a mini-game of Solitaire, all at an equivalent time. Nerts is the action-packed card game that lets you compete against virtual opponents for the ace piles in a race to get rid of your cards and gain the most points. As you get faster, increase the skill level and number of opponents to intensify the challenge! Nerts is a competitive version of solitaire where all play takes place at the same time. There is no need to wait for your turn to play a card, players move cards and play in real-time. While many games use a set number of decks of cards, this will change based on the number of players. For this game, each player needs a deck of 52 cards.

Nertz is a rapidly proceeding card game that is almost like solitaire, but is played with at least two or more individuals, who use two or more decks of cards. It is a great game to enjoy some family time at home or on a vacation. Children and beginners can simply learn the rules or play alongside their parents as partners. The card game is also a good option for colleagues who want to meet after work or old friends who wish to play a game after a dance or dinner party. There are several ways to play Nertz card game to good effect.

Instructions

• Deck of cards
  Shuffle a deck of cards for every individual playing the card game. The cards should have different pictures or colours on the back of all decks. Count 13 cards one by one in a pile and turn this upside down. All the players need to do this at the start of the game. After that, every player places four cards in a line face up close to the pile of 13 cards. When each player possesses a pile of 13 cards and a row of four cards that are face up, somebody will say, 'Go.'

  Colour sequence
  Grab cards from your stack of 13, and play them on the four cards. You can either play red on black or black on red in a sequence that will be decreasing in value. For instance, if one of the 4 cards is a 5 of hearts, and you have a 4 of spades on the top of your stack of 13, you can place the 4 of spades on the 5 of hearts, just like you do in solitaire. Moreover, when this is done you need to look for a red 3 to play on the black 4.

  What to do with aces?
  Put aces of any suit in the center of the table for any player to play. If the top card on your stack of 13 or one from your 4 cards is the ace of hearts or any other suit, place it in the center of the table. On the other hand, if any other person has the two of hearts, he should place this on top of the ace of hearts. By playing cards in the center you earn points. As a result of this, you should try to get all the cards that you can.

WASTE PILES

Nertz Card Game

• Players can turn over cards from your stock three at a time and put them face-up onto your waste pile.
• At the start of the game, there is no waste pile.
• The top card of the waste pile can be played into one of the work piles or a foundation pile if it fits.
• If ALL players are stuck and nobody can play any of their cards on a work pile or foundation piles, all players can stop.
• At this point, every player would take the top card from his/her 'stock' pile in their hand and keeping it face down, move it to the bottom of their stack.
• This will change up the order of cards and players should be able to once again play.
• If only one player is stuck, s/he has to wait for everyone else to get stuck to do this.
• But if other players keep playing, often a play will become available.

ADDITIONAL RULES

• The person who 'goes out' doesn't have to call 'Nerts' when they are done.
• They can keep playing to improve their score (more on that below).
• You are never forced to play a card if it isn't in your best interest – you can always wait.

HOW TO SCORE

• When someone calls 'Nerts!' the round is over and everyone takes down their score.
• Each player scores one point for each of their own cards that they played in the foundations of the common area. 0003
• This is where the back of the cards comes into play – the foundation piles have to be sorted out according to the owners of the cards. 0003
• All players except the one who called Nerts also subtract two points for every card left in their Nerts pile when the round ended.
• Calling Nerts does not guarantee the highest score – it depends on how many cards are played in the common area. 0003
• Rounds continue until a player scores a pre-determined number (ie – 100 points, 200 points, etc).
• Whoever reaches that number, wins!
