I have fond memories of playing this game with 13 or more players at one time — it was pure chaos and pure fun! Materials: 1 deck of cards for each player with distinct and different deck patterns, paper and pencil for scoring. Setup: Each player places 10 cards in one pile 9 cards face down in one pile and the 10th face up. This is the left-most pile. Then next to the pile moving the right place 4 more cards face up. The rest of the pile you will keep in a stack.
Players should face each other leaving enough space in between the for a shared space game board. Goal: To get rid of the 10 card pile first by either stacking the cards in your hand or putting them into the shared game space. How to score points: your point total will be the amount of cards you put into the shared game space minus the amount of cards you have left in your 10 card pile.
The only exception is that Ace is low and King is high. The ranking of cards goes as follows: King high , Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace low. To play Screw Your Neighbor each player will look at their dealt card. If it is a king, then players will flip it over to be revealed. This locks in your card so it cannot be traded for. All other cards are kept facedown. The player left of the dealer will start the round by deciding if they wish to trade with the player on their left or keep their card.
If they wish to trade, they will switch with the player to their left and then it will be the next players turn to switch. The remainder of each player's cards are held face-down as a stock ; these cards will be turned three at a time onto a face up stack, forming the player's waste pile. Players need to arrange themselves and their tableaus in a triangle, box, circle, etc. The common area is where the foundations will be placed and built on.
Players play simultaneously as fast as they like, not taking turns, moving cards around their own tableau according to the rules given below, and where possible building on the foundations in the common area. The players' main objective is to eliminate their Nerts piles, by playing cards from them onto their work piles or onto foundations.
Cards which were in the air being moved from one point to another may complete their move, but no further play is allowed. It is not necessary to call Nerts! You may choose to carry on playing for a while to try to improve your score further.
Players are only allowed to use one hand at a time to move cards, but may hold their stock in their other hand. Only one card at a time may be moved, except when moving a block of cards from one work pile to another. You can only move cards within your own tableau and into the common area. 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!
After the first few tricks players normally pick up their own cards and hold them so that the opponent cannot see them. So in order to know what cards one's opponent still holds, it is necessary to remember which cards have been played. A revoke occurs if the second player to a trick illegally plays a card of a different suit, even though a card of the same suit was held.
The penalty is that the offender must transfer three tricks to the other player. When all the cards have been played, the player who won more tricks wins in proportion to the difference in tricks between the players - for example 8 units if the winner has 17 tricks and the loser 9. It is clear from the article in The Sporting Magazine that the game was usually played for money, and for quite high stakes, each deal being a separate event. It would of course be possible instead just to keep a score on paper and add up the scores for a series of deals.
