I’ve tried this game several times with different types of opponents, and it was always a highlight of the evening. Fortunately, you can find many variations and alternatives to Blitz rules, so making the game more complex and intricate is easy. However, this article will mainly focus on the game’s basic and most widespread version. Starting the Game

One selected player (usually the scorekeeper) gives the signal to start. Everyone begins and plays at the same time, until the end of the hand. Nevertheless, you can also move your Blitz pile cards into your post piles if there is some empty space.

This game is suitable for younger children, which is one of the reasons it’s become such a popular family card game. The game aims to play all the cards from your Blitz pile to score points. Usually, the game is played over several rounds, and the player who reaches 75 points first will win! However, shorter one-round games are also popular. As you can see from the pictures, there are numbers on the card. They range from 1 to 10. The cards also have a boy or girl beside the number, which I'll explain later. If you recall the "dutch piles" from earlier, these are where most of your cards will be played. These piles are out in the middle of the table. Another added bonus: you can very easily be in the negatives for any given round, and for your overall score as well. It is hilarious when someone is about to win the whole game and another person at the table is like, “hey watch out though guys, I’m really on a streak here. Gettin’ pretty close at negative 22...”While you don’t want to alter your play strategy altogether, when you have a 10 or another high card on the Blitz, do everything you can to move it as soon as possible. The scorekeeper will then compute the score giving credit of one point for each card placed in the Dutch Piles and deducting two points for each card that remained in a player's Blitz Pile. The game in then repeated and another hand is played. The first player to exhaust his Blitz Pile has "Blitzed" his opponents and ended the hand. Cards for placement in the Dutch Piles can also be drawn from a player's Post and Wood Piles. Several hands, or rounds, must be played until a total of 75 points is accumulated by any one player who then wins the game (See scoring Section). If any of the exposed cards in front of the player is a Number 1 card, regardless of color, it must be placed face up in the center of the table to form the beginning of a Dutch Pile (Fig D). I don’t know if it’s to create more space in the Post or because they didn’t see the card in the first place, but you always need to keep the Blitz first in your mind.
