How Nertz is played here
The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.
- A pack each, and everybody's is marked. Thirteen in your nertz pile, four work piles, the rest in hand.
- An ace may be played to the middle at any time. Foundations build up in suit, and anyone may play on any of them.
- Work piles build down in alternating colours, as at klondike, and a whole sequence moves as one. An empty pile is filled from your nertz pile.
- Turn three at a time and play the top one. Turn it as often as you like.
- A point per card in the middle, minus two for every card left in your nertz pile, and ten to whoever empties theirs first.
How it works
- Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
- Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
- Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
Questions about playing Nertz online

- 2 to 6 at one table. A bot can take any seat nobody fills, so a game never has to wait for somebody to turn up.
- Can I play Nertz against the computer?
