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

The game exits if you slide your finger from the left edge of the screen to the right. Unfortunately you make this movement several times a game. When you exit the game, you have to restart the game, although you continue the match. Would help if the game asked if you really wanted to leave the game before exiting. Otherwise good game, replicates the feeling of playing nerts pretty well.

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.
