Just read up on this game and it seems like fun. However, I am more into the relaxed card games like poker or blackjack. This game seems too fast paced for me; guess I'm getting old.
Ooh, I love Nerts too! Unfortunately, pretty much the only time I ever play it is at family reunions and gatherings on my Dad's side, so every time we get together again, I am so rusty that it takes me a while to warm up to it. I am usually not the best player in the group, but once I get into the swing of things, I can get competitive enough!
Farseer, I am interested in your two-man version of solitaire. Every time we have tried to play or adopt Nerts to two-player, it never works, there is not enough to play off of, so I would love to learn a new version for two players.
