Overview  

Nertz 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 “Nertz” by getting rid of their thirteen-card Nertz pile. A game of Nertz is played to a score of 100.

### 3/5 — Draw pile reset

*2026-07-24, version 1.19.0*

Once played difficult to reset/replay my draw pile.

### 3/5 — Too many adverts

*2026-07-10*

Completely unplayable with the amount of ads, also no option to change number of players

### 3/5 — Religious ads

*2026-06-25*

I don’t mind ads but I don’t want religious ads especially for quran.  As a Christian I have no intentions of reading it.  Why do some sites/games keep showing it?

### 1/5 — Update is awful

*2026-06-25, version 1.19.0*

Been playing since 2009. Bring back the smooth game without the jerky nonsense. Looking for a replacement :(

### 5/5 — Still be updated

*2026-06-16, version 1.19.0*

Quality difficulty levels. Good practice against my in-laws that are killer at the game.

### 5/5 — Love nertz

*2026-06-11, version 1.19.0*

Only issue with this app is that my stats are not visible on iOS (they’re cut off). It’d be nice if they’d fix that.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-06-07, version 1.18.0*

I love this game. It is fun and I play throughout the day. However for the past month or so, the game crashes mid play. It is super annoying. I have to close it out wait and open it later. This is happening multiple times a day right now. Please fix!!! I do not want to stop playing.

### 3/5 — Great game but unstable

*2026-06-03, version 1.18.0*

I love this game but it freezes 80 percent of the time.  Too bad because it otherwise well executed and really fun to play.

### 1/5 — Glitching

*2026-05-21, version 1.18.0*

This game is so fun and I love that I can play it on my phone. However, it glitches/freezes, and makes me close out and re open 80% of the time. Have to practice some extreme patience to play this game.

### 4/5 — Not the same

*2026-03-18, version 1.18.0*

I used to love this game and played it often. Now, like so many others, it puts in lots of ads between games. Very sad.
