About Nertz

Nertz is the fast-paced competitive card game where every second counts. Race against opponents to empty your Nertz pile first by playing cards onto shared foundation piles — think solitaire, but everyone plays at the same time on the same table.

SINGLE PLAYER
Take on CPU opponents across four difficulty levels — from laid-back beginners who miss plays and hesitate, to ruthless professionals who never let a card slip by. Choose your opponents, pick your challenge, and climb the campaign ladder.

MULTIPLAYER
Connect online and play against real people. The authoritative server keeps everyone honest — no cheating, no lag exploits, just pure card skill.

HOW TO PLAY
Each player has their own Nertz pile (13 cards), four River work piles, and a Stream draw pile. Everyone shares the Lake — the center foundation piles where you build up by suit from Ace to King. Play cards from your Nertz pile, River, or Stream onto the Lake or your River piles. The first player to empty their Nertz pile calls "Nertz!" and ends the round.

Scoring: +1 for each card you played to the Lake, -2 for each card left in your Nertz pile. Every card matters.
