Nerts

Nerts is a fast-paced, solitaire-like, multiplayer card game where you compete against friends to clear your nerts pile first! Speed is the name of the game while you race to score points by playing cards to the middle, or by playing a nerts card. Be the first to 100 points to win the game (and bragging rights)!
