How to Play Dutch Blitz
- Everyone plays at once. The hand ends when a player empties the Blitz pile and calls Blitz, or empties the Nertz pile and calls Nertz.
- Each card you played to the center is 1 point. Each card left in your Blitz or Nertz pile is −2. Add those together for the hand.
- Cards left in the post piles, the wood pile, the stock, or the work piles do not score.
- Dutch Blitz plays to 75. Nertz usually plays to 100. The highest total at the goal wins. A running total can be negative, which is normal early on.
Tips & Strategy for playing Dutch Blitz
- Count the Blitz or Nertz pile before anyone touches the center. Those leftovers are the −2s.
- Sort the center by card back so each player counts only their own cards.
- Enter 0 when a pile is empty. A blank cell is not zero, so the hand will not total yet.
Frequently asked questions about Dutch Blitz
How do you score a hand of Dutch Blitz or Nertz?
When someone calls Blitz or Nertz, stop. For each player, enter how many of their cards are in the center, and how many are still in their Blitz pile or Nertz pile. The sheet gives 1 point per center card and subtracts 2 per card left in that pile. Post piles, the wood pile, the stock, and the work piles are not scored. A hand can come out negative.
Is the winning score 75 or 100?
Dutch Blitz is first to 75. Nertz is usually first to 100, though some tables play to 150. This sheet keeps a running total and ranks the highest score. It does not stop the table at one number, because the two games use different goals and a hand can jump past the line. If several players pass the goal on the same hand, the higher total wins. An equal total is shown as a tie. In Dutch Blitz, compare that hand’s points next, and play another hand if those match too.
Is Nertz the same game as Dutch Blitz?
Same scoring, different decks. Dutch Blitz uses a 40-card deck and a Blitz pile of 10, for 2 to 4 players, or 8 with the expansion. Nertz uses a standard deck and a Nertz pile of 13. Both award +1 for each of your cards in the center and −2 for each card left in that pile. Count the pile before anyone gathers the center. The player who called has nothing left there, so their penalty is 0.
