How to Play

Nertz is competitive multiplayer solitaire — everyone plays their own Nertz pile onto shared foundation piles at the same time, so speed matters as much as strategy.

  • Each player starts with their own 13-card Nertz pile face up. The goal is to empty it first.
  • Build shared foundation piles by suit, ace to king — anyone can play on any foundation at any time.
  • Use your work piles and draw pile to keep options open while you race to clear your Nertz pile.
  • Play on the same local network or online — matches move fast, so react quicker than the other players reaching for the same play.
