RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to score 75 or more points. Sort the cards into their matching decks and each player takes a deck and shuffles it, then places the top 3 cards next to each other face up in front of them. These are called your post piles. Each player then counts 10 cards and places them in a face up pile to their right. This is called your blitz pile. The rest of the cards remain face down in your hand.

When everyone is ready someone says go and the game begins. There are no turns, all play happens simultaneously. You may only touch your own cards. You may perform any single action at a time, any number of times, in any order. The actions are:

• You may count off the top 3 cards of your hand and flip them all over together into a discard, called your wood pile. If your hand doesn’t have enough cards to count off 3, then you count off however many are remaining. If your hand is empty you may pick up your wood pile and without shuffling turn it over and it becomes your hand.
• You may place any exposed number 1 card to the center play area to form a new dutch pile. An exposed card is the topmost card of a pile so that it has no card on top of it.
• You may play an exposed number card of the same color that is next in sequential order to a dutch pile, on top of that dutch pile.
• If a post pile is empty, you move the top card from your blitz deck onto it. You may not have more than 3 post piles.
• You may add the top card of your wood, post, or blitz pile to a post pile by alternating the genders on the card from boy to girl or girl to boy while also descending in sequence. All post card numbers and colors must be visible to all players at all times.

You may only move 1 card at a time. You may only use 1 hand at a time. You may not toss or throw cards. You may not start a dutch pile with a number other than a 1. You may not shuffle any pile. If a player misplays, then any player may shout “dutch” and all play stops. Return cards to their owners until the error is corrected, then play resumes.

The first player to use the last card in their blitz pile shouts “blitz” and all play immediately stops. Each player gains 1 point for each card they have in any dutch pile. Each player loses 2 points for each card remaining in their blitz pile. Players gather up all their cards and play another round. The first player to get 75 or more points, wins. Or if more than one player accomplish this at the same time, then the player with the most points wins! Still equal, then it is a tie.

Dear God… we got this game as a gift, tried reading the instructions and within 15 seconds we were lost. So, I came here and… within 98 seconds I was lost.

So, thank you for being far more clear on how to play the game! (I still have no idea how to play this thing 😂😂😂)

"The rules are the same as regular Blitz except for these changes"

[melissarey]

Appears to be very similar to Nertz/Peanuts but using cards that are less familiar to many western players. I will just play Nertz with my deliberately mismatched Bicycle decks. Thank you, Sir, for explaining things so clearly! I really appreciate all videos that get to the point!! Your channel has been extremely helpful in deciding what games I'm going to buy for a family gathering.

[hipsterimagestudios]

Just bought it for my family. Interested if there are any more card games from around the world that uses something other than a players deck like this?

[LeotheTiger]

This is a game my sister-in-law and her family love playing. They play with 8 people and an expansion pack. The rules are the same otherwise.
