FAQ

What is Nertz?

Nertz is a fast, real-time card game where everyone plays at the same time, racing to clear their pile onto shared stacks in the middle. You may know it as Pounce or Racing Demon. It is part solitaire, part demolition derby.

Can I play Nertz online with friends?

Yes. Online Blitz drops you into a live game against friends or other players, with everyone seeing the same board in real time. It is cheat-resistant by design, so the game state stays honest for everyone.

Can I play offline or solo?

Yes. Solo Blitz pits you against AI opponents at four difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard, Brutal), fully offline. There is also a guided tutorial to learn the rules and a daily timed challenge to chase your best run.

What is Attack Mode?

An optional rule for online and solo games. Playing cards to the shared piles charges your bolt; fill it and you get a random attack, like Freeze, Fog, or Splat, to throw at another player. Shield and Reflect protect you. Leave it off for a classic race.
