About this game

4 Player Solitaire! Nertz is a crazy ninja fast, real-time, multiplayer card game like Solitaire and Blitz. Nertz is a combination of the card games Speed and Solitaire.

The goal of the game is to play all of your Nertz cards before the other player do. Game play is similar to Solitaire but all players share their Foundation piles and need to play ninja fast to win.

Overview

Nerts can be played with any amount of people; this version plays with 4 players. Each player uses their own deck of cards in a solitaire–style competition that requires speed and skill. The object of each hand is to try to be the first player to call out “Nerts” by getting rid of their thirteen-card Nertz pile. A game of Nertz is played to a score of 100. Pounce and Blitz Dutch rules are 99% the same as Nertz. Solitaire Showdown, Double Dutch, Peanuts, Canfield, Blitz, Ligretto, and Squinch players will pickup nerds fast.

Ratings and reviews

Overall the game is functional enough to be playable, but there are certainly issues. The snap-to sort of function is extremely lacking in that it's difficult to get cards to go where you want them to and you have to be more precise than is easily possible on a small surface like a phone. Cards will also randomly stick in the middle of no where instead of drop and I've even had cards go to an opponent's hand. Like I said, it's playable and fun, but needs work.

Edit: increased to 4 stars because the developer got back to me. If you have issues, post a review! I have emailed multiple times over the years. Didn't get a fix till I posted this review. It was fixed quickly. Old post: Don't press the reset score button!!!!! I pressed it and it switched back to ads! I emailed the developer, but have not heard back. This is the second time I have lost my ad-free on this app. I can't believe i paid 8 dollars only to see unskippable ads all the time.

I am in my early 40's and my BFF taught me this game before it was popular 20 years ago. I couldn't find it in stores. However, I managed to find something like it for the PC, but you played with squirrels. Now you can buy a set of 6 or 12 decks of cards in a box that has directions. On this game you're able to move the top card of the stack and move it into another card without having an open spot to move to. That's my only issue, is moving off your stack because it'll play on the row.
