Has anyone heard of, played, or loved Dutch Blitz? I am in love with this game; it is so incredibly fun.

I haven't played that in a long time, but your post made me want to play. Maybe I will tomorrow...

I don't believe it! I didn't really think anyone would've heard of it. How did you come across it, Elizabeth?

I think my very first time was at my best friend's house. My parents bought me the game for my birthday once. Or maybe they randomly got it for our whole family...I don't remember...anyways, I have no clue where she got it.

I wasn't aware it was so rare.

Heard about the game about 2 years ago when I first got to College, haven't played in in a while but I don't really care for it that much.

Oh man, I HATE that game. It's fun and all, but if you can't do muliple things at once then it's over for ya. Which is probably why I hate it

. I'm supprised not many people have heard of it, it's huge in my youth group.

I love dutch blitz!!!! It gets intense with my family

My best friend got me hooked on it when I was about, oh 14? I think that was it. I think it's a fun game, especially when it gets moving fast!

dutch blitz is fun, but it's the wimpy way to play a classic card game. I don't know what the game's original name is, but it goes way back in my family and we call it Nertz. You play the same way as dutch blitz, but with real playing cards, 13 cards on your "nertz" pile, 4 across, and you can play solitaire with the four cards in front of you. WAY faster, WAY harder, and WAY more fun.

Bah, Dutch Blitz is better than Nertz. Mostly because it's Mennonite.

I adore Dutch Blitz, but my deck is very beat up. The cards are about as stiff as a used dollar bill, which makes it tough to play. Fortunately I have friends with newer decks.

I just played the game last week, the last time I had played would probably have been 8-9 years ago with one of my friends. My church here at school had a Dutch Blitz tournament. Only we played with regular cards, because only one person has the actual set, you just have to make sure they are marked on the back or the design is different, it works the same way.
The game is kind of like Double Solitaire, except you don't take turns.

its pretty fun. there are ten kids in our family, so we use two decks. but my eight bros all stink and they do their best to stay in positive numbers. my sister is ok.
