You cannot touch another player's tableau or take cards out of the common area. If two or more players try to play to the same foundation at the same time, the first played card generally the one which ends up lowest in the heap stays there, and all other players must return the equivalent cards they had just tried to play on that same foundation pile to their previous positions.

If there is a tie which cannot be resolved, both cards stay. A player's four work piles begin with one card each. Work piles are built in descending order, alternating color, overlapping the cards. Thus a red six is placed on a black seven, a black ten on a red jack, and so on. You can move any card in one of your work piles onto another of your own work piles if it fits, and any cards on top of the card are moved go with it.

When a space results, it may be filled by a card from your Nerts pile, your waste pile or another work pile. The exposed cards of each of the four work piles i. If one of your work piles is empty, you are allowed to save time by placing a card underneath a pile if it ranks one higher than the bottom card and is opposite in colour.

For example, if you have a work pile headed by a red jack, and another work pile with nothing in it, and the top card of your Nerts pile is a black queen, it is permissible to take the black queen and slide it under the red jack, rather than first putting the black queen in the space and then moving the whole work pile headed by the red jack on top of it.

Cards from the top of your Nerts pile can be played onto empty spaces in your work piles. If they fit, they can also be played onto one of your existing work piles, or they can be played directly onto a foundation. When you have played the top card of your Nerts pile you can turn the next card of the pile face up. When your Nerts pile becomes empty, you are entitled to call "Nerts! Foundations piles are built in the common area. They are always begun with an ace, and can be built up by playing the next higher card of the same suit for example the nine of spades on the eight of spades until the king is reached.

Players can always start new foundation piles by placing any available ace in the common area. Other available cards can be played onto an existing foundation where they fit, provided that another player doesn't get there before you. The cards available for playing to foundation piles are: the top card of the Nerts pile, the exposed cards lowest ranked cards of each work pile, and the top card of the waste pile.

Any player may play onto any foundation. When a foundation is filled up to king, it is turned over and set aside. You can turn over cards from your stock three at a time and put them face-up onto your waste pile the waste pile has no cards at the start of play. Be sure to keep the cards in the same order when you do so. The top card of your waste pile may be played to one of your work piles or to a foundation pile if it fits.

If there are only one or two cards left in the stock, place them on the waste pile, and then turn the waste pile over to start a new stock; do not pick up the waste pile and place it underneath so that you can deal three cards. If it happens that all players are stuck no further legal moves , or no one wishes to play any more cards, then everyone picks up their waste pile to re-form their stock, and then puts the top card of the stock on the bottom. This happens frequently in a two-player game and rarely with more players.

If you get stuck but others can still play, you have to wait for everyone else to get stuck or decide they do not want to make any more moves before you are allowed to transfer your top stock card to the bottom. When someone calls "Nerts! Each player team scores one point for each of their own cards that they managed to play into the common area. To determine this, the foundation piles have to be sorted out according to the owners of the cards - this is why it is necessary that the decks have different backs.
