Description

Dutch Blitz is a fast-paced card game that's all about speed and strategy. Designed by Werner Ernst George Muller and first published in 1960, this game is simple to learn but challenging to master. Players compete to empty their blitz pile by playing cards in the right order, either onto a central Dutch pile or onto their own post piles. The twist is that players can only play cards in ascending order on the Dutch pile, and in descending order on their post piles, with boys and girls alternating. With playtime ranging from 1 to 15 minutes, Dutch Blitz is perfect for a quick game with friends or family. It's designed for 2 to 4 players, making it a great option for small groups. The goal is to score points by playing cards onto the Dutch piles, while avoiding penalties for cards left in your blitz pile. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins, making Dutch Blitz a thrilling and competitive experience.
