Nertz!!!

Friday night we had some friends over so we could play Nertz.  Justin and Nancy made a delicious pasta dinner.  Kyle and Kathleen brought some yummy fizzies.  So we ate and then got down to business.  The worst part about Nertz is explaining the rules and how to play.  I did my best, but then we just started.  I think that's the easiest way: to just do it. We had a lot of fun.  And with all of us being pretty competitive (especially Kathleen!) it was pretty energetic as well.

Sorting out the decks

Kyle and Kathleen were the "Summer" team because they were both wearing blue which is the color of the ocean.  And as Jared so sarcastically noted, "The ocean only exists in the summer."

Justin and Nancy were the winter team because they were both wearing white.

Here are the winners!  (Not that we had an advantage or anything.) Jared and I were the fall team.

Overall the girls liked to be the 1-2-3 person and made the boys be in charge of the Nertz pile.  Good thing the boys were okay with having to watch 4 cards plus all of the piles.
